Killed in action

[Turra]

I read this topic allthe time but have never asked anything and wonder if someone can help me with this query. My cousin was killed in France during the War - not sure of the date but it must have been between 1940 and 45. Have tried Scotlands People but no joy - Can someone advise me where I would find anything on this please. TIA

If you post as much detail as you can, there may be folks on here with access to records that are presently unavailable to you.

Hi turra,
is this of any help?

Thank you all very much - I thought I sent details over an hour ago but obviously I did something wrong! Thanks very much for replies.

His name was Hugh Hogg from Aberdeen, he was killed in France between 1940 and 1945 - he would have been aged no younger than 20 and no older than 30 - sorry I cannot be more precise as there is no one still alive to ask. I think he was in the Medical Corps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The cemetery site Saschs supplied I think would have helped if I had known the name of the cemetery but a bit daunting to go into every cemetery!

If this is him I think you can order a copy of his death certificate. It is shown in the Index to War Deaths 1939-19948 Army Officers and is Year 1944 Volume 2 page 219.

Sorry to trouble you again. The site says there are 10 entries with regard to this question but I can only get 1 to 7 - can you advise what I have to do to get the last three - cannot see what to do though it is probably staring me in the face!

[craft1948]

sorry no idea except for logging in and out again........

[Turra]
