208646 Sig. Matthew Forshaw British Army 8th AA Divisional Signals. Royal Signals from:Liverpool (d.20th Nov 1941) My grandfather, Matthew Forshaw was only home on leave for a day when he was recalled to his base in Wales in November 1941. The next day he was killed, we think, in suspicious circumstances. He died in Oswestry Hospital from "shock following dislocation of his spine". His body was returned home in a sealed casket and was guarded by an armed guard. My father and his mother were told they had to leave their house while the body was laying in rest. My grandfather was also given a military burial, which we think is a bit odd for a private. We have come across a brick wall and can get no further with our search for what really happened to him. We are unable to get the commander's diary as we have been advised that as the database is huge the Public Records Office do not offer a research service, unless we visit in person, which we cannot do. The only information we have been able to get is his military service records, and we don't know where to go from here.
