I have found my husbands Grandfather on The National Roll Of The Great War,John Lennon Private M.G.C.
Could anyone tell me what M.G.C stands for, is it the name of the Regiment.
Thankyou
Carol

Chris: you just beat me to it.

If I had known you were on the forum I'd have left it to you.
Congrats on your brilliant website. Long admired it.
