Andrea : - thanks for your reply . Would you have any objections if I recorded James Maycock into a spreadsheet that I am preparing about those mentioned on the memorial which I intend to lodge with Leicestershire County archives and also Leics and Rutland Family History Society and perhaps others who are collating details so that these brave men will not just be names for others to see . Have already made a start but it is not easy to find them on CWG or other lists as many did not join the Leicestershire Regiment . It would be pretty certain that he was an employee at what was then Leicester City Tramways , am aware that we had blacksmiths , paviours ,carpenters ,trimmers , gardeners , housepainters well into the 1960/70,s .

Hi Mick That's fine go right ahead. By CWG do you mean the Commonwealth War Graves site? If so here is the link to the page with James Maycock on it: http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/29711/MAYCOCK,%20JAMES I don't have much information about him during the war as his records seem to be among those lost however I do have the records for his 2 brothers which is how I found out one was killed by friendly fire - its quite fascinating with handwritten eyewitness accounts and comments from various different ranks right up to the very top! And thanks that is interesting to know that he probably would have been employed as a gardner.
