    Just to say hello and introduce myself.

    I joined the forum to enable me to further ny research into the War memorial in our village, specifically to gather as much information about one soldier who is on the memorial but is buried in the Churchyard. His name is:

    Lance Sergeant JOHN WILLIAM HUMPHREYS


    5384450, 7th Bn., Parachute Regiment, A.A.C.

    Who died on 29 June 1945

    Where's the best place to ask all the questions I have?

    Many thanks

    Welcome. You can either go to the information request section or into the section he fought.

    Welcome aboard, as has been said the information requests area is probably your best chance. Looks interesting, sure someone here might be able to offer more help.

    J W Humphreys died on 29th June 1945. How unlucky is that! another week & he would have still been alive! I wish you luck in your quest.
