Notes Information from Commonwealth War Graves Commission web site History Information In May 1943, the war in North Africa came to an end in Tunisia with the defeat of the Axis powers by a combined Allied force. The campaign began on 8 November 1942, when Commonwealth and American troops made a series of landings in Algeria and Morocco. The Germans responded immediately by sending a force from Sicily to northern Tunisia, which checked the Allied advance east in early December. In the south, the Axis forces defeated at El Alamein withdrew into Tunisia along the coast through Libya, pursued by the Allied Eighth Army. By mid April 1943, the combined Axis force was hemmed into a small corner of north-eastern Tunisia and the Allies were grouped for their final offensive. Medjez-el-Bab was at the limit of the Allied advance in December 1942 and remained on the front line until the decisive Allied advances of April and May 1943. There are 2,903 Commonwealth servicemen of the Second World War buried or commemorated in MEDJEZ-EL-BAB WAR CEMETERY. 385 of the burials are unidentified. Special memorials commemorate three soldiers buried in Tunis (Borgel) Cemetery and one in Youks-les-Bains Cemetery, whose graves are now lost. Within the cemetery stands the MEDJEZ-EL-BAB MEMORIAL, bearing the names of almost 2,000 men of the First Army who died during the operations in Algeria and Tunisia between 8 November 1942 and 19 February 1943, and those of the First and Eighth Armies who died in operations in the same areas between 20 February 1943 and 13 May 1943, and who have no known graves. The five First World War burials in Medjez-el-Bab War Cemetery were brought in from Tunis (Belvedere) Cemetery or in Carthage (Basilica Karita) Cemetery in 1950. The CEMETERY and MEMORIAL were designed by Sir J. Hubert Worthington. 1923 Gloucester Journal Saturday March 10, 1923 BIRTHS BRETHERTON - March 8th at Ashford Dene, Parkend Road, Gloucester, the wife of Percival J BRETHERTON a son. 1943 SUPPLEMENT TO LONDON GAZETTE 12 September 1943 The undermentioned cadets to 2nD Lieutenant 10th October 1943 Derek Howard BRETHERTON (295836) 1945 WO 373 Awards WO 373/111 - Hut Six Recommendations for Honours and Awards WO 373/111 BRETHERTON, DERRICK HOWARD LIEUTENANT 295836 3/4 COUNTY OF LONDON YEOMANRY SHARPSHOOTERS FOREIGN TO BRITISH: BELGIUM CHEVALIER OF THE ORDER OF LEOPOLD II WITH PALM AND CROIX DE GUERRE 1940 WITH PALM 08 DECEMBER 1945 FOREIGN AWARDS TO BRITISH AND BRITISH AWARDS TO FOREIGN 1946 Gloucester Journal MARRIAGE BRETHERTON - ARBER - On Jul 15, 1946 at the Afghan Church, Colaba, Bombay.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
