[Hugh Pattenden]

Hi,

I'm researching the following man and so far have turned up blank. Can anyone help?

G/61383, Private John Rudolph Oppenheimer, 1st Battalion, The Queen's (Royal West Surrey Regiment). He died of wounds on 13th May 1918 aged 21.

Have done CWGC, SDGW, local newspapers, regimental museum, school archives e.t.c.

Is there anywhere else to turn?

Thanks,

Hugh
