The Jack Clegg Memorial Database of Royal Naval Division Casualties of The Great War.


By Jack Marshall © 2005.

Findmypast are delighted to announce the launch of the Jack Clegg Memorial Database of Royal Naval Division Casualties of The Great War.

The database is a uniquely accurate and comprehensive register of the deaths of servicemen of the Royal Navy who served in the Royal Naval Division in The Great War, compiled from original service records and all other sources listing RND casualties.

As the title suggests, this database is dedicated to the memory of CH/19403 Private John (Jack) Clegg RMLI, 1st Royal Marine Battalion, RND, who was “wounded and missing” at the Battle of the Ancre 13/11/16. The author, Jack Marshall, is the great nephew of Private Clegg.

The records contained within the database are a treasure trove of information, including enormously valuable details about next of kin, address, date and cause of death, service history and burial.

The level of detail is equivalent in many cases to that found on a civil death certificate.

A number of the records also have images associated with them, which are available to view and save forfree.
