My great uncle John Charles Thomas served in the 15th (County of London) Battalion (P.W.O. Civil Service Rifles) and died in Oct 1918. I know where he is buried in France and I also know that the memorial to those who died from this regiment is at Somerset House. This memorial doesn't have any names inscribed and I was wondering if there is a book of remembrance anywhere, as i would like to see his name on the 100th anniversary.

Ady,
He lived in Lavender Hill. Already tried that I'm afraid. I was made up when I found the regiment memorial, but apparently there was just too many names so they are all on a scroll sealed up in the memorial. I have thought that the place he worked may have had one, like the ones you see in railway stations, but I can't find out where he worked and my Grandad was much younger than him and he was just Uncle John who died in the war.
Thanks anyway
Dave
