Re: World War 1 casualties - missing details
Perhaps some of you guys will have this information. My great uncle William Conway's name is inscribed on the Stevenston war memorial and also I think on a headstone in Bangor County Down where his father is interred. He was killed in 1915 and according to my grannie blown to bits in the front line of trenches. Hence he would have no known grave. Where did he enlist and which regiment was he in. Thanks.
