Weymouth

I spoke with Rachel this morning with a wonderful clue that may help find Harry Moore. Marjorie Hanger had a brother who owned a pub called The Belvedere Inn in Weymouth in 1944 it was mentioned in a book called Doctor Danger as a local favorite of the soldiers who were stationed there. In reading the book I came to realize there weren't that many soldiers in the town as early as December 1943 or January 1944 it would have been the setup troops who would have gone ahead in preparation for D-Day in June 1944. The book details the 18th Combat Regiment as being some of the first soldiers to arrive there.

I have also been combing through records searching for casualties of the War and noticed a large amount of Harry or Harold Moore without dates and locations which one could it be?

I have combed through cemeteries with WW2 headstone requests looking for clues as to a unit for any Harry Moore that fits our pattern the above images are instructions on where to bury the soldier who died in the War some would be sent home some could not.

I contacted several World War 2 researchers and enthusiasts and haven't had an answer yet but we will continue to search the records and daily check the DNA matches to see if we can find Harry Moore.

If anyone knows of a War Baby group or someone who specializes in searching for American GI fathers please email us at findingharrymoore@gmail.com with your hints and or advice. The more people we have helping the better the odds of locating helpful information.
