Swinton War Memorial (1939-45)

[shred]

Nothing in his records to connect him or relatives to the UK.

[shred]

Sue has provided me with information that this man's family have no connection with Swinton. We may need to look for a death that occurred at home and would not be recognised by the CWGC.
