Private Cyril John Jackman

[Guest Kieron Hill]

I know this is a Great War site but I am unable to find

a site as good as this one to post these details on, so

if anyone can point me in the right direction or if anyone

can help it would be great.

Can anyone help me with the following; I am trying to piece together information on my late Grandfathers movements during 1940 – 1944 and his Battalions/Divisions battle honours and what campaign medals he would have been issued?

The Information I have so far: -

Taken from The Commonwealth War Graves website

Cyril John Jackman

Private

6093903

1/6th Bn., The Queens Royal Regiment (West Surrey)

Who died Tuesday 15th August 1944. Age 25.

Information I have taken from family documentation: -

8th Army War – 1940 – 1944 – died 1944

M.E.F.I.C.M.F. (What does this mean?)

6093903 Cpl C.J.Jackman 7th ARMD. DIV. Wounded in action

Died in Bath Hospital Somerset on August 15th 1944

(In Normandy on 25th July 1944)

This information states he was a Corporal but his war grave says

Private, any suggestions?

Would there be any records on Hospital ships departing from

Normandy and their occupants?

Any information no matter how small would be greatly

Appreciated.

Regards

Kieron Hill
