| McHardy Roll of Honour - | |
 |
Their Name Liveth For Ever More |
The following table lists the details of the McHardys who fell in the Great War, World War II, and Other Wars and Conflicts. It also contains some individuals who although not of the surname McHardy, had a McHardy mother. Where better or additional information was available, I have enhanced the details contained on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Website.

Help Required: - 1) Can anyone reading this assist with filling in some additional information for the individuals marked with a candle ? 2) Does anyone know of any details of McHardys in the USA who fell in the wars ? Is there an equivalent site to The Commonwealth War Graves Commission for the USA ?

Mike can be contacted by email on ****mikecolton@hotmail.com or ****postroom@alliedspecialforces.org (Remember to remove the 4 stars from the email addresses before you use them) Mike wrote "We would be interested to know if you have any information about Fred McHardy who served with 247 Motor Boat Coy and sadly lost his life on the 21st. February 1945. If you can help it would be appreciated as we have had an enquiry from Ron Cruickshank who's father James Cruickshank died on the same day whilst serving with 247. We are particularly interested because we are in the process of adding to the Roll of Honour of the Special Boat Service which will be included within the Allied Special Forces Memorial Grove at the National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas, Staffordshire. We hope that you can help". |

Ian Slatter wrote to me in an email about Sidney Alexander Farquharson McHardy. ........... I
stumbled across your web site while surfing the web under Vadum,
Denmark.
A local historian has written a
book giving details of all the aircaft which came down in the region and
there is a chapter on this aircraft. After the crash the Germans took
the bodies away and buried them in an unmarked grave and there is a sad
but fascinating story about how the Danes came to locate them, and give
them a Christian burial, when the Germans surrendered at the end of the
war. |
