Commencing in late-January 2011, the CIGWSG is starting to collect a range of data that will become the evidence required by the UK Ministry of Defence and the CWGC to enable those organisations to accept that an individual should be recognised.

The men are as follows:

Jerseymen

Walter Cheney, Alfred Poingdestre, Thomas Ounan, Walter Orange, Harold Mutton, Edward Syvret, Thomas Whittle, William Turner, Auguste Jouanne, Charles Pirouet, Cubitt Rundle, Wilfred Le Breton, John Vibert, John (Jack) Ellis and Joseph Lihou.

Guernseymen

John William Helman, Ira Louis Le Messurier and William John Le Noury. Several others are being considered for submission.

Is your ancestor’s name on the list, and do you have any of his old documents that could be copied and used as part of the evidence? The Group would welcome hearing from you and invites you to get in touch using our contact form.

You can contact us via our online form. Please remember to include your email address.
