I am trying to research Marine Frederick Hogburn who is my father-in-laws father.
I have found an entry – “Royal Marine Light Infantry,Hogburn,F,Pte,Plough Lane,Wokingham,Berkshire,England” on the its your history site – http://www.its-your-history.com/military/regiments/berkshire-and-the-war/berkshire-and-the-war-volume-1-surnames-by-regiment.html?showall=1
Is there any information you have on the Berkshire connection. You have a Sydney Hogburn listed on your menu but I can’t get any further information
Thanks
