dunsbyowl1867 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Larrett Looking at your press cutting looks like you could solve another mystery for this rotherham pubs web site if this is the same/right Britannia Inn in Rotherham where they have a gap for the 1915-1918 years! http://www.rotherhampubs.f9.co.uk/BritanniaInnShaftsburySq.html Sorry if barking up the wrong tree! I was on my way to Derby the other day I heard on Radio sheffield that some bodys were found at Beaucamps Lignm. I had a chill down my spine, sorry to be this way as my grand father was their you have his name on your lists. I see you have him as 8116 Roebuck His correct title was 8116 L/cpl Larrett Roebuck 7 Marsh Street Ickles Rotherham Be for going back in the Army he was a professional footballer for Huddersfield Town, the papers were signed February 26th 1915. If at any time you wish a D.N.A test I myself or any one off the grandchildren are willing. I myself are not to clever on the computer am 75 we had slate and chalk at our school. cheers Larrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Trefcon Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Had my interview with David Walsh from the Star today, a good 90 minutes, and some pics taken I felt genuine interest from David, just hope he can put into words and images my utterances! Not sure when its printed, maybe not this week, which is a shame what with the Fromelles story in the news. Dean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Trefcon Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 UPDATE The MOD's Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre has stated that the remains at Beaucamps will be subjected to the fullest investigation to ID them, including DNA testing. The JCCC, (only two staff i believe!! ) is giving obvious preference to Afganistan at the moment, they also have another 40 cases of WW1 remains ongoing/pending. So a possible wait of a few years before a full investigation. In the meantime we are looking at ways to do some of the background work that will help the investigation when it starts. The York & Lancaster Regimental Association at Endcliffe Hall, are now on board too. In fact i was up there this morning meeting Colonel Geoffrey Norton. (He gave me a very nice tour of the hall ). A reply from David Blunkett this afternoon arrived through the door, Liam Fox MP, the secretary of state for defence, stating to David more or less the above. Lots more to do but things are now looking a lot more positive. regards Dean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larrett Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 HI Dean /Bayleaf Thanks for the e/mail,have left a comment on the article it seems that this his world wide and could possible rush them up a bit Regards Larrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trefcon Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Hi Peter, it does show how important it is, there are still family members out there that know uncle 'Fred' was killed in WW1, but not where or how. To them its of the upmost importance. No one is advocating digging up all the 'unknown to God' buried. But when unknown burials are come across then all avenues should be exhausted to identify them in my opinion. Thank you Peter for your continued interest on this matter, much appreciated. I will keep everyone up to date as and when i get info. Larrett, i'll phone you tomorrow, i need to see you before next week i think. Dean.
