Hi Henk
Little,29, is registered in the Border Office which is in Cumberland and probably named because it is close to Scotland, Maiden,25. is registered at St Austell, Cornwall.

Hi Henk

I've just noticed Maiden is shown as dying on 8 Mar on the CWGC website?

Malcolm,
Must have been a transmission error. MAIDEN is in the CWGC Register edition 1960 listed "6" March 1941.
