Machine Gun Corps (d.9th Nov1918) My grandfather, J Newcombe, was in the 32nd Company, Machine Gun Corps and was killed in Maubeuge on 9th November 1918. I plan to visit his grave, for which I have the details in September, but would love to know what the initial J stood for. My mother was only three months old, and therefore did not mention him by name, and she has since died. Annette Kent Add to this record. Recomended Reading. Available at discounted prices.
