Hi Ton,
Sorry to say that we have not found Robert's name on any of the memorials to date. We will let you know if he is found.

Robert Unsworth is not one of the men listed on the Swinton Cenotaph for World War II. I've done all the names on there. I've added him to our database without a memorial for now, so at least we have his details ready if his name shows up somewhere.

Tony,
Robert Unsworth (brother of Billy and Father of Robert) was a platelayer with the London & Northwestern railway prior to the war. He lived with his wife Deborah and children Robert, James, William, Francis, Albert & George at 37 West Dixon St, Salford. He joined the Royal Engineers and was given the number 55942. He achieved the rank of Sergeant and was awarded the MM for bravery within the field 25/09/1917.
