We have searched for the Leven, Fife connection but without success and the Fifeshire connection throws up multiple candidates.

Any help welcome

He is definitely one of the possibles.

can anything be found to suggest a Leven, Fife connection that would make him stand out beyond the other possibles?

Impossible task?

Just a few then Mel!  a daunting task indeed.  I expect you know his HCB number is 2268.

There is a Pte R Cunningham on the Largo Parish War Memorial,  but no unit mentioned, it is only a few miles from Leven.  Couldn't see anyone with that name on the Scoonie (Leven) War Memorial, or on Markinch's War Memorial.

Well ...... just a few 

It becomes a real problem when you are dealing with a common name and the only information that you have is the SDGW and a basic CWGC entry. Mind you, we have completed over 300+, so I think that we ought to be realistic that there are going to be some that are insoluble ....... but, it would be nice to give Robert and the seven others at least a crack of the whip.

Also, this one above could be relevant for the 'Largo'  War Memorial connection.

Yes, you have got to try Mel, and I suppose at least "no result" though not satisfactory, is still a result if you have done your best to seek out the information.

Would I find out anymore at Kew do you think?  Probably not, as his service records would show already on Ancestry if they were there.
