A search on Herbert Scrace produces one result. Could some kind person have a look at the record for me? I would paricularly like next-of-kin, and anything else that looks interesting.

Don't forget that by using the information in the service record in conjunction with the battalion war diaries (and other records) at the National Archives it should be possible to find the details of where he was at the time he died and possibly the actual circumstances of the action he was involved in.... can be really fascinating, if poignant, stuff.
He is of course also listed on the Commonwealth War Graves site (www.cwgc.org)Retired professional researcher, and ex- deputy registrar, now based in Worcestershire. Happy to give any help or advice I can ( especially on matters of civil registration) - contact via PM or my website www.chalfontresearch.co.uk
