    2. patrick holland
    3. Hello, I recently sent a list of Surrey WW1 and WW2 memorials which I found and thought would be of interest to some of our members. http://www.windowonwoking.org.uk/sites/goldsworthparkcommunityassociation/memorialsworldwar1andtwo/surreywarmemorialspagee I looked at all the WW1 memorials for a mention of my uncle, Pte. George Stephen Holland DCM who was born in Lambeth and served in the 6th. Bn. Queens ( Royal West Surrey Regiment.) , whose parents , at the time of his death, lived in south Lambeth, but he is not listed on any of the Surrey WW1 memorials I looked at. although he is mentioned on the Commonwealth War Graves Commision (CWGC) , Debt of Honour, http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=271305 Can any of our members suggest where I could find a mention of him on a Surrey , WW1 memorial and if he is not listed on any memorial, is it possible to rectify the unfortunate omission Thank You. Patrick Holland . Perth, Western Australia.

    3. Patrick West Surrey FHS has published MS28 "Surrey War Memorials Index" which contains more than 35,000 names of those who died in the two World Wars and commemorated on war memorials, rolls of honour and war graves in Surrey. If I had a copy of MS28 I would check for this single entry for you but regrettably I don't. Maybe someone else will be able to do the lookup for you as it's just the one name you're after.
