There is one hit I'm interested in on this Roll of Honour - is it definitely a photograph or are some of the entries documents?

Some are photos of the person with writting some is just writting about the person..

I believe that the entries were provided by family members, who had to pay for the privilege. The list covers only a very small proportion of the vast numbers who fell.

As it may only cover what we already have on our soldier from the NA, I think it will have to wait until there are others to investigate before I get credits - 50p is a good deal, but the minimum spend is £5.

I didn't find the records on Ancestry .... I checked the military-genealogy.com site, am I being daft?

Post by **MaryA** » 05 Nov 2009 13:50

Doh! yes I am daft, I've found the entry! No picture I'm afraid but a nice write up, including giving confirmation of his grandfather's name (mother's father) which is good since I believe somebody's tree on Ancestry had something different.

Think I'll look for more surnames and see what turns up.

I see what you mean Daggers, there aren't very many at all really are there - no photographs for me I'm afraid.

The following site has members with access to all sorts of military information and a helpful bunch they are, too.

Entry is similar to this one - user name and passWORD xportx, with limits on bits of access until a few posts have been made.

Indeed they are a very helpful bunch and have already responded to a co-researcher for the same family and turned up a lot of information, mentioned in this thread http://liverpool-genealogy.org.uk/phpBB ... 3&start=15 Ralph Marshall Lunt, brother to the Arthur Towers Lunt listed in the De Ruvigny's Roll of Honour.

About time I contacted my relative to see if she discovered in the National Archives what he did to merit the Croix de Guerre.
