Richard Charles Gray - war research memorial

[wingers]

I am posting*concerning a website we have recently setup in honour of my father Richard Charles Gray who passed away in 2017

My father was a great believer in researching and respecting fallen heroes of past wars.*

He dedicated a lot of his time to researching and ensuring those lost souls really got the respect they deserved and most importantly were never forgotten.

A couple of weeks ago we took his ashes to Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre and had the privilege of being able to scatter them behind a Lancaster Bomber from WW2* / Dambusters era whilst it had the engines on full thrust – quite an experience.

Over the past few weeks I have been working through all the research he had done on war veterans (2668 documents and 6311 photos) and compiling them into a website so that none of his work went to waste, so please anyone you know who has an interest in war history etc please pass on the link below.

Thanks!

A worthy project which I have bookmarked.

Re your "Unknown Location" section, you may be able to place some of these using the Armed Forces Memorial site which covers many outside the WW1/WW2 date ranges of the better-known CWGC database. Here, for example, is the first on your list: Arthur Mann. The AFM database isn't complete, though; I have come across several military style headstones for people not included.

Thank you Chris, I have now gone through all the graves in the unknown location and will move them all to the correct locations - thanks for the useful link
