Hi, don't know if this is the right place to ask, but... My grandad was a tanky in ww2, he died last January. The lads he was close with died (we think in Belgium) when their tank was hit, my Grandad was the only survivor, and he wanted his ashes to be with them eventually. Could anyone advise me how I would find out where this event happened, so that we can complete this for him? Thanks, and apologies if this isn't the right place to ask. X
