My info was not from CWGC but from a site where the information is not always correct and that's why i wanted to check with the experts first like you and Beardie(Feral).
So,what do you think can i add the info on BCC for a Thomas Hadley born 1895?
Feral is their anyway we can see where this Thomas Hadley was born and his parents?
