My great uncle Warren Pendry was killed in Palestine 11/11/1917 age 26.
He would have resided Witton/Aston.
As a small boy i remember his photo ( in uniform) on my grandmothers wall.
Virtually every generation have Warren as either first,second or third christian names ..even cousins
here in Australia......Sadly, thats all i know and i would like to find out more details about his service and if he has a known grave in Palestine.....
Not sure where to start from........Can anyone help??:cry:

Hi Davpen

Thought you might be interested in that Warren Pendry is remembered on the Church of All Souls WW1 war memorial. This church has now closed down and the memorial moved to the Holy Trinity Church Birchfield Birmingham. If you would like a copy of the memorial please PM me and I will send it by email.

Regards

Tony
