May I thank who ever posted the photo from Ilkeston Park Cemetery, commemorating my Grandfather William Thomas Collier. William was my mother (Ann Marina Collier's) father from his marriage to Elizabeth Gillespie, Londonderry He was killed in action in Malaya when my mother was 6 years old. I have no contact with William's other family members and whilst I appreciate it is not the role of this site to connect people, if any member of the Collier family is in contact with Millitaryimages.net, I would be very pleased to hear from them.
