Fao PR Robinson; without wishing to pry, do I assume from your comment that this Roll contains details that wouldn't normally be available from a public Memorial, or other online sources. (I presume you have researched your father and uncle to some degree, which are presumably WW2 records hence trickier to research, That said old newspapers often give information about Prisoners of War and suchlike).

Hi Jeff,

My father and uncle were in the RAF in WW2. Neither died or, as far as I'm aware, were wounded. Hence why I'm not sure what the object of this list is or was. Other than a list of people from the Ruardean area that fought in one or the other wars. It could, at worst, be misleading.

As far as finding information about people who fought in the war, service records are available, though possibly restricted to some extent. I keep meaning to obtain my father's. It's a fairly straight forward procedure as far as I recall when I looked into it. I think you maybe have to prove your relationship though so not just anybody could obtain it. But if Cally wants more information on a relative who fought in the war, it should be possible to obtain their service record - which is what I was suggesting.
