Can anybody help

Can you help the MOD War Detectives?

We are working with the team to track down relatives of some of those who served with 1st Battalion the Glosters during the Korean War, and didn't make it home. A number of remains are being held that need to be identified, and we need your help.

See below for a list of individuals whose families have not yet been reached. If you know any member of the family then please do get in touch with us at the museum and we will connect you to the team - [email protected]
