Wondering if anyone can help me Ii am looking for a war memorial.
my father in law remembers when he was a young boy been taken to a war memorial in Dundee by his grandmother. to see the name of a uncle John Henry Rogers who died WW1.
John Henry Rogers was born in Jarrow co Durham 1897. when he died during the war, his mother had his name put a war memorial in Dundee Scotland Why nobody know except that his grandmother did moved to Scotland.
of course as this all happen when my father in law was a young boy memories could have gone a bit astray he is now 76 :)
the problem i have is i cant find a death for John Henry Rogers i have looked at the CWG and not find any thing i don't have a number or a regiment for him.
in fact the only information i have is his birth and where he lived on the
census
so this i s a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack, a very small needle in a very large haystack
any idea anyone please

Hi Cherryberry
I checked this site, but couldn't find any reference to John www.fdca.org.uk/WarMemorialsR.pdf
The main War Memorial in Dundee does not have any names on it www.royalhighlanders.co.uk/dundee.htm
Maybe a post on the Armed Forces board here on RC would also help www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,300.0.html
