   Tracing Individuals  

 

 

 

Do you want to find out about a relative who served with the Durham Light Infantry?  Try the Family History page.

 

Did you serve with the Durhams and do you want to trace a comrade with whom you lost touch?  Try the Tracing Comrades page.

 

The DLI Association assists many families in tracing former DLI and Light Infantry servicemen and, sometimes, is able to supply information about the circumstances of their deaths and burial details.

 

Individuals who wish to visit grave sites in this country and abroad are helped with their arrangements.

 

If you wish to trace someone or need help please contact:

            The DLI Association Secretary, The Rifles Durham Office, Elvet Waterside, Durham, DH1 3BW

                   Tel: 0191 3865496  or email: durham@the-rifles.co.uk

 

The DLI Association also works to re-unite former comrades and to pass on information.  Details can be found on the Tracing Comrades page

 

This web site is an extension of that service and, should you wish to contact someone, you may contact the Office and leave a message to be posted on the web site Message Board.
