An Englishman intruding on your forum here. Please forgive me but my Dutch is non-existent and I have navigated my way here "blind", so forgive any errors.

I am researching the WW1 Fallen of Rosslyn Park, a rugby club in London. You can see the full story at the Rugby Remembers website (I will not post a URL here , as I know some fora do no allow this to new members, but please google it)

We 'lost' our WW1 memorial and now have to reconstruct the Roll of Honour from club/CWGC records. We believe from a press article in 1918 that there are 72 who died, although current research suggests it might be even more. Now my youth team have launched an appeal to raise funds for a new memorial. We also toured to Compiegne in France, site of the 1918 Armistice, to establish a new partnership.

My particular interest is two men at Zeebrugge: AL Harrison VC who is well documented, and Capt Tuckey who is less well-known.

If anyone has information on Tuckey I would be very grateful

Als je de Roll of Honour bekijkt zie je haast enkel officieren of onder-officieren. Er is dus een duidelijk verband tussen de sport en de opleiding. Of zoals de Britten plegen te zeggen ' football is a gentleman's game played by hooligans, and rugby is a hooligans' game played by gentlemen'!
