A recent request for help – was it you?

UPDATED! September 6th 2022

We were contacted today by the son of the gentleman who had originally asked for help but who had provided an incorrect email address for replies. The son had seen this post and wondered if there was a family connection. So it was great to finally be able to send on the little information we had found. In reply, he said, “Wow, I’m glad I followed up with you…, my father will be very grateful… I’ll forward the information you’ve supplied on to him and I’m sure he’ll be in touch.”

Good to be able to conclude things!

The society received a request for help recently, looking for information about a relative who served in Salonika. On average we get similar requests at a rate of about one a week, via the contact form on this website.

We were able to find a little bit of information and we would love to share this.

However, on this occasion, our enquirer entered his email details incorrectly and, as he is not a member of the society, we have no other information with which to identify him. Without the correct email address, and only a not-uncommon name to identify him, it makes it near-impossible for us to reply.

So, if you have recently requested information about a very close relative who served with the Church Army in Salonika, please get in touch via the contact page here – using your correct email address of course!
