PaulC Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Is there a problem with the website? All I've got for the last week or so is the "Error 503 : Service Temporarily Unavailable" message. 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 It sometimes happens where the spam and hacker protection finds a false-positive and blocks IPs for what would seem to be no particular reason. There was a good reason for putting that on because the site was suffering hack attempts and defacing. It's happened to me a few times where I've been blocked and I've had to use a VPN to get back in. It usually passes. Tip - for a free web VPN try the Opera browser.

PaulC Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Cheers, it's working now. When I go to the page below and click on the churchyard link, then click on the "casualties listed for..." link, I get a 403 FORBIDDEN! error - don't know if that's related to the problem I was having? http://www.sthelensrollsofhonour.co.uk/casualty-2801-Frank_Hooton_Chadwick.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Nope, I'm not seeing that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RATTY Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Can anyone search for this person in SHROH records, it would take me forever. The photo was found in Wales but had a Jordan and Metcalf of George Street stamp on reverse. He was RAF by the looks of it, just a chance he may have been killed and recorded. No name unfortunately, the person who bought it is trying to return it to family. Just told, vaguely possible name Erlam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RATTY Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Good choice Phyll but I don't think he was army, by the look of his coat it was RAF. See, this is WWII RAF Ground crew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishka Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Checked on war graves site Rats - no person down as deceased with the name Erlam or similar in the RAF - and I checked all, not just St Helens. I'll do a bit more digging later but I'm not holding my breath. Hope all is good with you? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyll Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) Hi Ratty, this is a long shot but could this be him? This photo looks a bit like him & he was in Cardiff, Wales around that time.

RATTY Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 The guy looking has been told by someone that he looks like a relative of her aunts husband Bill Erlam, his name possibly Henry Erlam born St Helens and he died before 2019. He had a brother who lived in Wales, the photo was found in Wales. I searched SHROH but there's not much info on RAF and searching every photo in case that info is wrong would take ages. I also searched what record sets I know of on RAF names and there are no Erlam or Irlam's there. That's all I can do really. He needs to trawl the old newspapers maybe but without a positive name it could take a lifetime. added 0 minutes later Thanks for looking added 2 minutes later Mishka I'm doing ok, thanks for asking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsman Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Looking just above his left breast pocket he was a Sergeant Aircrew but not able to see what trade, observer, gunner, navigator etc. Usually a Letter signifies which part of the crew he was, be it O,G,N etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
