Title: Greenock Roll of Honour
Post by: brycewj on Wednesday 12 January 11 18:48 GMT (UK)

Hi,

I came across a site (Scottish War Memorial Project) mentioning that there was a Roll of Honour book for Greenock.  I was wondering if there was anyone that had a copy that could look up the following people for me.

1.  Pte. Charles John Bryce, 1st/5th Bn.,Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, died 8 Nov. 1917 in Gaza, Palestine.
2.  Maria Feliciana Delacruz died as result of enemy action 16 April 1941 at 7 Thom St., Greenock.
3.  Felicana (Shauna) Bryce died from injuries suffered as result of enemy action 17 April, 1941, at 7 Thom St., Greenock.

Thanks for any help.

Maria and Shauna were killed in the Greenock Blitz. This links to full details of events and includes the transcript of the newspaper story about Shauna Bryce:

Thanks, Carole. I had previously seen the cwgc site.  It also has Pte. Charles John Bryce on it.  I was hoping to see if there was any additional information on the Roll of Honour.

Rafter,  I don't believe I've come across this article before now and found it very interesting!  I was in the house on Thom St when it was bombed, albeit a bit too young (2 and a half) to remember much.  Shauna Bryce was my cousin while Felicana Delacruz was my father's.

Thanks again to the both of you.

Hi

I think Rolls of Honour mainly just show names/dates etc - the certficates on the CWGC website go into a lot more personal detail re: families etc

Thanks, Carole.  It does have much more detail but I was hoping that the Roll Of Honour might give me a little more.
Cheers for now,
Bill
