Portsdown Hill, 6 November 1940

[B.F.M. Droog]

Hello Chris,

I want to contact the MOD because of two Royal Marines, who went missing on a ground patrol, spring 1945. One of them is buried as a 'unknown RM' in the Netherlands. It's my opinion that a simple check on their records would reveal which one of the two is the one that is buried over here.

Regards,

Bart

I think I am right in saying that you would need the Naval Historical Branch for that.

[B.F.M. Droog]

Thanks Andy,

I'll contact that office.

Regards,

Bart

...but it would eventually come back to the people at Innsworth as they are the Jt Casualty and Compassionate Centre so I suggest you write to them.

[B.F.M. Droog]

Hello Chris,

Any idea if the Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre can be reached by e-mail? I don't have a fax and to make a international telephone call in a language that's not my own about this issue can be a costly thing.

Speak to Sue on 0044 1452 712612 Ext 6303. She will phone you back and direct you query to the right area

[B.F.M. Droog]

Thanks, Chris,

That's on the agenda for monday morning.

Regards,

Bart

Indeed so!

As an update, and since the thread has re-surfaced, I have recently heard again from the Adair family who are hoping to organise a memorial service for Hubert near the spot at some stage in the relatively near future.
