Does anyone know who is buried in plot VII. A. 10 at the Cassino War Cemetery please? I have been looking to find the men killed alongside my Great Uncle and I don't know if I have misunderstood something or not but I thought there were 10 men (including him from his regiment). I can only find 9 graves. Either side of this particular plot are men from 2/ & 5/ Northants all killed on 30/10/1943. I used Geoff's Search Engine and did a search for all men from the Northamptonshire Regiment buried at Cassino War Cemetery but no result. Thanks. Jules.
That didn't take too long, just trawled through alphabetically until I saw VII A 10 RASC chap from a pack transport company, I assume used mules? CWGC :: Casualty Details Name:McKIE, JOHN A.

Thank you both. Did you search all names alphabetically? No short cuts? No idea how Owen did it, but I'm impressed! This was a function that was to be added to my search engine, but then I stopped working on it.
I went to 'cemetery report' & went through each name until I saw grave ref number. just to escape from kids for 15 minutes.
Wonder of WW2Talk eh? Fast and well informed response - even confounds the experts sometimes! Mike The help on this forum is brilliant! I try to find out everything I can before asking so sometimes I have spent ages (days and days when it came to maps!) looking. Jules.
