Title: Dobel born 1905/1910 Battle of Dunkirk 1940 WW2
Post by: Augustine on Tuesday 29 April 14 18:38 BST (UK)
Hi,

Could you help me to find where Sidney Dobel was born between 1905 and 1910. He was an English military who participated in the battle of Dunkirk in May-June 1940 (did he die there or did he survive?).
According to his uniform and what I found on web (!), he would have been a sergeant or staff sergeant.

Regards
Augustine

Hi,

I think that DecQ 1907 reference is for a marriage for Henry Sidney R Dobel.

You are both fantastic. Thank you.

and how I can search further?
I am not sure of the spelling Dobel with one "L". He could also be Dobell, Dobels...
Is Dobell an usual (frequent) surname in UK?
