 Heywood thank you for letting me know this! I saw a list of the 27 flying Aces of 1915 to 1919! I was wondering where I could get a full list of the pilots!

Hi Judith, Honours and distinctions Gray LT (actg Capt) William, Lond.R TF it said if the actg is in brackets it is less than 6months. The gazette was for the military cross Nov 1918.  he was awarded for gallantry as his captain was killed.
The bar was for Bois d'en Haut near Marincourt when the battalion arrived he volunteered to go out under heavy fire and retrieved the wounded. I think it was the Royal Fusiliers! That was 27 th August 1918!

Hi Judith, One of them seems to be the one you looked at 7 November 1918 and the other ones are 15 Feb and 30 July 1919. I found it going a different way but I somehow think it may be the tank guy! This William Stanley Gray was a cadet. It said  he was an acting captain at Maricourt 27th August 1918 the Royal Fusilier's had only been in the area 2 weeks!!His captain was killed.  He received Honours and a Bar. I found this out in the cadets honours and distinctions page 89 University of London!

Hi !! I think Lt Gray was an acting Captain on 27th August 1918!! There is no record of his death  as he is mentioned in the Gazettes Feb and July 1919!!

Hi Judith, I was at Rookwood Cemetery a few years ago and walked straight to the grave of my g grandparents and my uncle who was in the same grave!
regards Roz
It is like LT Gray is a ghost!
I sent John a copy of the front page of Eileen's  book and he thinks the writing is the same as Nellies!

Hi Judith, The rumour my mum heard was both the husband and the daughter died!!
regards Roz I think pop new!!
It looks like it might be the other gray's who had Dorothy.
The plot thickens!!
The writing in the Needlework Encyclopaedias is definitely Nellies!! Even though it says Eileen May Harriss 1918!! I have the same writing in the Coronation Book Nana Gave me in 1953 and I have a few cards and postcards in the same handwriting!! I also noticed the same writing on the back of John's Photos!!
Regards Roz

Thank you Judith. What would be the odds of 2 people having the same name and a daughter! John and I have had some great chats and I saw a picture of nana when she was young. Hope we get lucky with the LT Gray.
Regards Roz
