Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 5,047 Send Message	Maddie Thank You So Much.. Yes he did die and the details all correspond with what you have posted ..I have been on the trail of my g. father for 20 years and these records are the first I have come across despite having his Reg.No etc. Have spent the morning trawling through all the records that are showing up on Anc."Browse" but that is some feat and he didn't show up...It was "Other Ranks Died" that had me totally puzzled ..now I need to go to Fold 3... Thank You again
