Hi Rod
I was given this site to 'look up' www.cwgc.org - Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

I tried 'Dumbreck' and came up with these, W Dumbreck. 12Bn., Royal Scots.

Private James & H Dumbreck. (husband & son of E Dumbreck, Glasgow.)
Sergeant Oliver William Dumbreck, son of James & Catherine Emily Dumbreck. Buckhaven.

Ordinary Seaman Hugh Dumbreck son of Hugh Fulton & Agnes Dumbreck. Glasgow.

I have written to Bill and sent him some information off the Dumbreck website, hoping I can get him a little more interested. I will give him a few more weeks and will telephone him.

You should have heard from Adam by now if not it will not be too long!! We are all (the Gibsons) going to his place next Saturday evening. My son Martin, who lives in Reading is also interested in going to Edinburgh to see Adam, (his Polish wife and two children will be in Poland for a week) so you may even meet up with him.

Regards
Cynthia
