There are no Meagers listed at all, sorry Egleton, there is just one with the initials W C Egleton from Camberwell Percy Stevens, none Kings Rifles, sorry No Tacchi's at all, sorry Frederick L Hawkins, only one with F Hawkins from Peckham all the others have wrong initials. Just a note of interest my ancestors were Hawkins, some from Kensington but further back from Birmingham. William Tom Randall, there is a T J Randall from Paddington do you think this maybe the right one? John Fowler I think this might be yours J Fowler Private 7th London Regt He volenteered in 1914 & the following year was drafted to France where he was in action at Hill 60, Ypres, Viney Ridge & the Somme.He was buried by an explosion and sustained serious injurys & was invalided home. He was discharged in 1916 & holds the 1914-15 star and general and victory medals 7 Clayton St, Kennington SE London I thought this was your John Fowler as Kennington is right next to Camberwell. Regards Madeline

Albert Harper, the only Harper with the correct ( or nearly correct ) initials is A Harper Grenadier Guards Paddington Jones E J. Gunner RFA I think maybe this is your one as it is the correct initials Was mobilised from reserves in Aug 1914 & was immediatly drafted to France. He took part in the very heavy fighting at Mons the first battle at Ypres & several other engagments. He was wounded & gassed in the retreat of 1918 and was returned to hospital in England. On his recovery he went back to France & served until demob in March 1920. He holds the Mons Star & General Service & Victory medals 20 Tarver Rd Walworth

Hi Madeline The Alfred Edward Berry from Paddington looks hopeful (he was married there) Can you send me the details please many thanks Sylvia

Thanks for looking for me. Jean x.

Elizabeth Leach, in answer to your question, the lists seem to be men and women whatever they did during the war. When i bought these CDs i was under the understanding that everyone that served in the first world war from the London area was listed on these CDs but how wrong i was, i havent been able to find any of my relatives on them. Even some very common names there isnt any ( my grandfather, Hughes) Still the men and women on here have to be someones ancestors so it might help someone Regards Madeline

Madeline, Thank you for your very kind offer of look-ups. May I ask please that you have a look for the surname SANDY from Brixton, Balham, Streatham or Tooting ... there shouldn't be many SANDYs, so I'd be interested in anyone you find. Very many thanks. Regs Jane
