Hi Jeff.
I live in Winchester and London.
I posted a notice in The Citizen which is how the lady whose aunt worked at HH found me. Will also try Terry Moore Scott etc.
Arthur Curtis had no connections with Glos at all. He hoved from Coalville in Leicestershire, worked in Shire took Colliery, joined the Fusiliers in Great War, married in 1916 (Oxford girl), caught Spanish flu, had 6 sons and a girl, worked at Cowley during 2nd War and then walked out on his family when he discovered his wife was unfaithful
None of his boys or girl (all dead now and their kids haven't a clue) knew what happened to him. I got a pd to find his death certificate-hence how I know he died at HH. I also have got a professional researcher working on archives for me. He wad buried in a common grave with 3 unnamed others. Very sad. I should mention hr isn't my ancestor but a friend's grandfather.
