southafricawargraves Posted 3 November , 2004 Share Posted 3 November , 2004 Hi, About 15 years back I bought a death plaque named to Ralph McLean (a.ka. ME!). I checked from time to time on CWGC but with no luck as to who it may be. Anyone have SDGW can possibly do a check? Curious. Thanks, Ralph McLean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pete Wood Posted 3 November , 2004 Share Posted 3 November , 2004 His MIC seems to indicate that he might not have used his middle name on enlistment http://www.documentsonline.nationalarchive...1&resultcount=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
