Armed Forces / Re: Ron Bolus:2nd Batt, SOUTH STAFFS REGIMENT 1900-20
« on: Wednesday 31 October 07 22:16 GMT (UK) »
My three uncles died in WW1 and were part of the 2nd Battallion South Staffordshire Regiment. I have found details of their deaths at the National Archives in Kew and on the internet on the SSRegiment webite.
Today I have been around Jeffcock Road cemetery in Wolverhampton and there are several gravestones of soldiers from the SS Regiment that died in WW1. I do not remember seeing the name Bolus, but there must have been around 12 graves specifically for SS Regiment soldiers. My Great Grandfather is buried in Jeffcock Rd Cemetery (1930) and he was from SS Regiment and received the DCM and OBE - both medals are in the Regimental museum in Lichfield (Whittinghton Barracks) so this could be a good place to start your search.
Good luck with your search.
