How sad - three sons lost in the war.

So, it looks as if Ethel may have had children, and I don't know if Eric did or not.
The three who died were all unmarried.

Possibly the death of Edward Eric - at least the age would be right:

Ian ,
Welcome,

The above post was in 2007 just over 9 years ago,

If any infomation can be shared it would be best to click on Angelas name and send a direct message.bear in mind with such a long gap it maybe that she no longer has contact with the site and if a new email address has been got since Angela registered then no message will get through.
but good luck anyway.

Are these the same Calverts, with brothers consisting of Eric, Cyril, Geoff and Reg?
The father, Rhodes K Calvert, had his own law firm Calvert and sons?

My grandfather Charles Scott Ogilvie, was a friend of Cyril's during WWI and was with Cyril when he was killed. Charlie was captured and spent the rest of the war as a POW. His original ICRC card actually listed the Calverts as his next of kin, instead of his own family. I'm guessing to let them know what happened to Cyril.

I am trying to find the relatives of the family to see if they have any letters from Charlie or his mother Rebecca as I have a letter from Rhodes to Rebecca.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Ian Ogilvie
