Allan1892 Posted 21 June Share Posted 21 June A search of non-military records has failed to find anything on a Frederick Godfrey Blake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdeer Posted 21 June Author Share Posted 21 June Well he was killed in the war so he must be there somewhere or they got his middle name wrong and was meant to be George or Gordon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan1892 Posted 21 June Share Posted 21 June I'm afraid without some further information on him, e.g. where / when he was born I doubt we will be able to find anything on him. May I ask where did you find information of his death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdeer Posted 21 June Author Share Posted 21 June (edited) A friend asked me if I could find his records but I think you are right it is hard to find any Service records for him so thank you for your help . Edited 21 June by topdeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin DavidOwen Posted 21 June Admin Share Posted 21 June Just covering bases here - there is a WW1 Casualty Edward Godfrey Blake - is there any chance the first name could be in error? (Fred / Ed as an example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdeer Posted 21 June Author Share Posted 21 June If he is the only one there then it could be me likely to be his first name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin DavidOwen Posted 21 June Admin Share Posted 21 June This is all FMP has for WW1 when the first name/s include "Godfrey" [no name variants selected] This is his CWGC entry in case NoK is relevant? and he is the only WW1 Godfrey Blake on their site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdeer Posted 21 June Author Share Posted 21 June I think you are right middle name and surname just first name spelled wrong. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
