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.

Pte. Howell David . British Army 1st Btn. Middlesex Regiment (d.12th May 1945)
I'm looking after 8 War Graves in Hamburg of Middlesex Soldiers, including that of David Howell. Early in 1946 the 1st Battalion Middlesex Regt. came from Lübeck to Rendsburg to stay for one year at Barracks called Albuhera Barracks. I was 11 years old, and after a short time the Regiment adopted me as a mascot. I made many friends, and am still in contact with a number of ex Members. I have opened a museum in our Town, Museum Time of Occupation. To the opening, 7 ex Members came over from England. I have received many photos from the end of the was, from the Barracks, in the Barracks, in front of the famous NAAFI Kiel Club an many more. If any one is looking for someone from that time 1946 1947 perhaps I can help, as I also have all the Diehards Magazines from that Time.
Pte. Howell V.T. David . British Army 1st Battalion Middlesex Regiment from Port Talbot, Wales
(d.12th May 1945)
This young soldier, Howell David, was a "Die Hard" of the 1st Battalion Middlesex Regiment. Died aged 21 years, 4 days after the War was over. He made it all the way from Normandy to Lübeck North West Germany. Then went for a swim in Großhansdorf near Lübeck and drowned. What a drama. His resting place is in the Hamburg Ohlsdorf War Cemetery.
For many years my wife and I have looked after his grave on Remembrance Day. We feel so sorry, its so sad. I was 11 years of age when it happened. Rest in peace.

Soldat. Oscar David . French Army

L/Cpl. R. David . British Army Corps of Military Police
My Dad, R. David, arrived as a British subject from India and was conscripted into the Corps of Military Police, age 16. His multilingual skills were useful in dealing with other Indian recruits, mostly Sikhs, and local populations. He said it was the best time of his life and spent most of his time around the Middle East but also a short stay in Communist Europe. They never told him where the ships docked but he is sure he stopped in Malta, Famagusta (Cyprus) and Habbaniyeh (Iraq). He likes to show me a bullet he picked out of a wall that narrowly missed him while his friends took aim at a wild cat (blamed for routinely raiding the canteen). He mostly dealt with traffic violations but also minor crimes. He recounts the CMP had the power to arrest much higher ranking officials and once arrested a 2nd degree Officer for being “Out of bounds” (no go area). The Officer was found at a brothel and politely requested another 30 more minutes, which my Dad agreed.

The website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions.
