After much research looking for my grandfather T Finnegan (Greaser) I at last found him on crew list for the ss Burutu. Thanks to your website I now have the full picture. Many many thanks
Hi Denise, so glad the blog has been of use to you - I've restored the page link for the Burutu at the top (don't know why it disappeared!) I also have a copy of the maritime deaths index which records your grandfather's death - if you don't have a copy already email me and I'll send it to you. thewarmemorial@gmail.com

Hi,
I noticed the fantastic work you've been doing for this project and wondered if you'd come across John Michael Campbell on CWGC site?
I think he may be the 'John Campbell' on the St James's memorial? He lived in Rutter Street, which I think is a short walk from St James's. CWGC record attached in separate email. I've not looked at census or other information, so worth a check if John Michael Campbell is new to your research.
Best wishes,
Jon
