It is believed dozens of names are missing from Southampton's war memorial wall

And while the majority are the names of those who died in the First World War, many served in the Second World War.

Bernard Henry Janaway is one of the forgotten heroes who the Daily Echo has teamed up with Southampton City Council to find.

He served with the Allies as they battled to liberate western Europe from Nazi Germany but died two months after the D-Day landings.

We have launched our Find the Forgotten campaign in a bid to find those servicemen from the city who went to war and never came back, but whose names were not included on the cenotaph or the memorial wall which now contains the names of the fallen.

The wall currently lists 3,298 servicemen - 2,368 who died in the First World War, 927 who died in the Second World War and three in other conflicts.

Bernard Janaway from Bitterne Park is one of the soldiers whose name has not made it onto the cenotaph or the memorial wall, but he is now set to take his place alongside his comrades.

Born in Southampton in 1915, he served as a gunner in the 20 Anti-Tank Regiment of the Royal Artillery.

The regiment formed part of the 3rd Division, which was the first British formation to land on Sword Beach in Normandy as part of the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944.

Following the bloody success of the landings the division took part in the lengthy and equally vicious battle for the city of Caen over the following two months.

It is not clear from records exactly where Gunner Janaway died, but he was killed on August 12 alongside 445 other British servicemen.

He is buried alongside many of his comrades at Bayeux Cemetery, the largest Commonwealth cemetery in France where more than 4,000 Allied soldiers now lie.

His division sustained more than 8,000 losses in Normandy alone, with more than 50,000 Allied casualties overall in the Battle for Caen.

The 3rd Division went on to serve in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany before the end of the conflict.

If you know about a forgotten hero who died in the First or Second World Wars, or another conflict in the last century, you can nominate them for inclusion on the memorial wall by emailing newsdesk@dailyecho.co.uk.

The deadline for nominations is April 30, 2018 with work to add all of the names to the memorial taking place later that year to mark the centenary of the end of the Great War.
