mgnv,

Thank you,
This is the one I thought might be mine but not the same wife I'm afraid,
there are a lot of J.Moore's and some don't show next of kin so I don't know which one would be mine.
thank you
Jean

The CWGC site says:

Name: MOORE, JAMES
Initials: J
Nationality: United Kingdom
Rank: Private
Regiment/Service: King's Own Scottish Borderers
Unit Text: 1st Bn.
Date of Death: 03/05/1915
Service No: 7957
Additional information: Husband of Hannah Maria Moore, of 94, Roberts St., Scotswood, Northumberland.
Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: Panel 84 to 92 or 220 to 222.
Memorial: HELLES MEMORIAL

The page of the WW1 war returns register you got from SP gives his regt at top and his service # in 1st col - so you should KNOW if this record matches the d.rego you have.

Incidentally, clicking on the HELLES MEMORIAL link on the CWGC site gives you info abt the memorial, as well as a link at bottom of page to a photo of the memorial.

Shirley,
I think it is him I found on Scotlandspeople, this James died 1915 in the Dardanelles.
There is no other death on Scotlandspeople that matches with him.

I have found what I think is the death of a relative in WW1 on Scotlandspeople. It just shows a list of names , the year and how they died, Is there any way I can find out more .
He was James Moore b. 1877 in Glasgow .

Thank you
