   Hi Romilly 

 CWGC = Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

 It commemorates the 1.7 million from the commonwealth who have died whilst serving in the forces for the two world wars. It also lists civilian deaths as well.  Have a look ....

   www.cwgc.org

 then search our records.
 There are 2 Percy Edgar Holmans on there.

Thanks for the Link Tazzie, - a fascinating site!

I'm attaching a pic taken of the Main Thiepval Memorial to the Missing when we visited there last summer, - the 90th Anniversary of the Battle of the Somme.

Best Wishes, Romilly.

Hi Again,

I am now searching for another WW1 Death, - for an Australian soldier called (Surname) McGowan, who was killed in France between Oct/Nov 1918 - 1919.

Any help appreciated!

Cheers, Romilly.
