Maj. Malcolm Ian MACONOCHIE [Died: 4 April 1944]

Hi pals

On behalf of a friend who is researching Derbyshire Memorials, can anyone let me know anything about the war service of this Officer, especially where his Regt. was engaged in at the time of his death and any details of the action.

CWGC Records show he died on the 4 April 1944 and is buried in Imphal Cemetery, India.

Many thanks for looking - I know this is a bit vague but my research has been in WW1 so am a bit ignorant of WW2 actions.

It helps if you post the CWGC link as I can't find him. Have you spelt his name wrong?

 

No I haven't spelled his name wrong and his CWGC link comes up straight away - http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/2034756/MACONOCHIE,%20MALCOLM%20IAN

 

The answer may be in the units war diary held at the National Archives in London

WO 172/4976 15/11 Sikh Regiment 1944 Jan, Feb, Apr-July

 

Thanks Drew - I'll pass that on

 

No probs, if you/they can't get there just give me a shout.
