Guest sesler520 Posted 31 May , 2004 Share Posted 31 May , 2004 Thats quite odd, do you live in glasgow to know, or are you twisting my leg, Im confused easily, I need things explained in black and white!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSF Posted 31 May , 2004 Share Posted 31 May , 2004 Hi Sorry to have confused you. If you were to look at a map of Lanarkshire you wont find Kinning Park or Whiteinch listed. I've found areas of Glasgow (in CWGC etc) often listed like this. Technically the listings in CWGC and Soldiers Died should read Born - Kinning Park, Glasgow, Lanarkshire and Enlisted - Whiteinch, Glasgow, Lanarkshire. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
