Title: WW2 Civilian death 1940
Post by: alveleyhistorian on Saturday 10 February 24 16:40 GMT (UK)
Hi there,
I am trying to find the grave of James Thomas Waterfield who was killed during an air raid at Smethwick 25th October 1940
I have tried the cwgc website, but that doesn’t list the exact cemetery.
Any help would be very much appreciated
