RM44 Arthur DOOLEY EX4045, killed at Achnacarry

For anyone still following, last month I submitted a Freedom of Information request to the Ministry of Defence to see if they had any information related to the deaths of Arthur DOOLEY and Eric Hookway GIBSON. I've just received a response, and unfortunately it said:

"despite extensive searches across the Ministry of Defence I am unable to locate any information in relation to the deaths of Arthur DOOLEY or Eric Hookway GIBSON."

MOD have suggested I contact The Royal Marines Museum, which I've now done, however I assume they won't be able to provide much information based on my email enquiry... their website states they won't do research for enquirers (which is fair enough, and something I expected). Just a pity the MOD didn't hold anything of value.

Hi Annie,

You've done an incredible amount of research and I thank you for sharing it with us. I hope that, having got thus far, that you don't give up.
I don't know if it will be of any use, but I enclose a link to the National Archives RG series - in particular RG 48/1769, RG 48 / 1225, RG 48 / 1780 - they may be another avenue for you to explore...

You're doing a great job Annie, thank you so much! :)

Thanks NIC and Tempiz!

NIC, These look very interesting. I'll start looking through the links properly when I get a free moment!
(and I'm definitely not giving up!)
