It had to happen, trying to find if John Smith, RAPC is listed on a memorial in Scotland. Born in Hamilton (not on Hamilton War Memorial) and died on the Lancastria.

| He's not on any of the Hamilton churches we have recorded, nor is he on the memorial for Hamilton Grammar School. |

Thanks, I am assuming that he left Scotland years before and there were no family left to put his name forward.

Thanks - hadn't checked that, not that used to WW2 research. I was working from an RAPC ROH published in 1946 (I think) and cross referencing it with losses from the Lancastria.
Odd that he is not listed on Hamilton WM then.
