Dawson Jenny Anderson Civilian researcher Rank in Normandy Number 1! Service No. Researching Company Genealogist/detective extraordinaire Jenny is an 'amateur' (her description, not mine) genealogist and, as well as researching her own family tree, also worked her magic on a book to remember the fallen of Hawick in WW1. Can I just say, this site wouldn't be half of what it is without Jenny! She has literally worked day and night to search out photographs and newspaper clippings, as well as BMD information for all ranks of the 1st KOSB. When I first started working on the 'Wounded' list I had a confusing time due to the age of the original documents and some errors contained within. Jenny went through ALL 300 entries and found full names, mother's maiden names, rugby team photographs as well as medal card signatures (for another side-project coming up) and checking to see if they were wounded/killed after Normandy. The one project I am most thankful to Jenny for is tracing a living relative of casualty Thomas Adams . After years of trying to find information on him - and a photo - she was the one who tracked down his family details and allowed me to get in touch with his nephew. *(Thomas was a Hawick boy, like my Grandad, and I wanted to see if he was my Grandad's best mate who was killed). She's performed many more miracles since then but a random interaction on Facebook led to her joining the research team (and heading it up, I think) and adding hundreds of entries to our records. Thank you, Jenny - you do indeed deserve a 'Special Mention' R Grayling December 2024. Jenny Anderson Dawson AKA Sherlock.
