Hello Everyone,
my father-in-law served with the Kings Royal Rifle Corps. during ww2 and I have quite a few photo's of him with other men,quite a few are named and I would like to share them with others who are interested.
Would anyone know of a web site on which I could post the photo's so that someone may find their relative ?

There seems to be an association - might be worth contacting them for advice:

Or maybe Forces Reunited?

You could also try putting them on the new Keepsafe bit of Genes. There are already some on there trying to identify soldiers.

If you put the names you know in the heading interested people might see them.

Also, are any of the names on any trees here on Genes?

My mother's uncle, Leonard H. Plenty served as a rifleman in the King's Royal Rifle Corps. I don't know what he looks like but if you have any photos of him that would be much appreciated.

Also, there's a place in Winchester where you can find information on the King's King's Royal Rifle Corps- now known as the Royal Green (Rifle) Jackets. You can find out more information prior to your visit on http://www.rgjmuseum.co.uk/research.asp
