Hi
My name is Fred West I am a volunteer for the Commonwealth Grave Commission looking after 50 Commonwealth war graves in Cornwall
One of the graves I look after is for a Lance Corporal John Henry Brown service number 1921770 a member of The RE Bomb Disposal Company.
He is buried in St Pauls graveyard Upton Cross Cornwall.
He was 44 and died on 5th November 1940
I’m led to believe he was awarded the Military Medal.
Is there any way of finding out more information on this soldier?
Thanks
Fred
Hi Fred
Checked records including National Archives and London Gazette bo records of him receiving a MM in either War. I checked WW 1 as he was born in 1896 so probably served
Regards
Pete
