| Could you please ask Deb to get in contact with me? I would like her help in finding the relatives of a man whose war grave I photographed a few years ago out in France who came from Toronto, Ontario. They were called NICHOLAS and FLORENCE PEARCE and their son was called LEONARD PEARCE. He died on the 18th July 1944 aged 25 .The reason I took the photo was that he had the same surname as me, silly but there you go. I thought it would be quite nice for the family or decendants of it to have. I have given you all the details I have. I look forward to hearing from you in due course. With thanks Julia | |

Hi Julia I have moved your message on to the "P" surname board, because it won't be noticed on the General board. We will ask our Canadian manager Deb for help and get back to you, so please keep an eye on this board. Marian |

Hi Brunney Anything Is worth A shot,If you Notice On the one i put on It has his Army Number.Well Contact with the RCIC would be a good thing,Chances are Parents are long gone as he was 25 in 1944.So born in 1919,But Living relatives May still be around.It would be a wonderfull gift for them.I Am hoping Debs will find something for you. mike |
