242550 Sgt. Daniel Crichton MM.British Army 2nd Battalion Royal Irish Fusiliers from:Wandsworth, London Daniel Crichton, my grandfather, was born in 1885, no records exist regarding him within the family because his home in Finsbury was bombed in the Second World War. My grandfather was very ill from the effects of his war effort and the family were in difficult financial circumstances. We have tried for the past 30 years to accumulate records. It has become easier with digitalised versions of the records today. But we still do not have one photograph of him.
My father is nearly 80 and has been searching for information about his father all his life. I want to redress the balance between the information available regarding officers in war diaries and other material and include my grandfather's name wherever possible so anyone else looking for him will know that there are people he belongs to.
