Margaret M. Davey
NAAFI
(d.14th Feb 1946)
Margaret M Coyne, nee Davey, worked for NAAFI, ENSA in Belgium 1945/46. She died and was buried there following an operation. She sent home postcards which include the following: 43 ENSA Hostel, HCS, BAOR; Sealed Field Post Office, R143/HCS, BLA; and HQ/HCS BLA. Her nephew Charlie Holmes would like to hear from anyone who might have known Margaret, in particular anyone who could tell him where she worked and where she was laid to rest. He very much wishes to pay his respects at her grave.
Update:
I mentioned your posting to someone who knows more about The Commonwealth War Graves Commission than I do. This is what he discovered:
"Mrs Margaret Mary Coyne-Davey, NAAFI Died 14.02.46, buried Brussels Town Cemetery Grave No. 10.24.13. 'Non-World War Dead in CWGC Care' and is buried in one of their plots." (Stuart Brown)
