"Bob, Thanks for coming back so swiftly. I look forward to seeing Humphreys' headstone and I will look up your site.

I was in conversation the other day with the relatives of an HLI soldier who died in Cyprus. To bring his body back for burial in Glasgow, the family had to raise £119 to pay the 'War Office'/MoD. Quite a lot of money in 1956, when some houses cost no more than £250."

Hello All,
Re Humphreys M.M. I have spoken to ex C.S.M. MacCormack and he was fairly sure Humphreys was repatriated. He thought he lived in Chirk but was sure he lived in North Wales.
