GavinH Posted 11 July , 2004 Share Posted 11 July , 2004 I'd be very grateful if someone could do a SDGW look up for me. I'm interested in the details of 6130 Private C J Hopkins M.M. 1st Bn Somerset L.I. who died on 25/10/17. Thank you. Gavin Heaton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
