John_Hartley Posted 9 October , 2008 Share Posted 9 October , 2008 I can't find him either, Bernard. And there's no listing in the GRO Overseas deaths so it looks that maybe he survived. However, I did find this bloke. Co-incidence??? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apwright Posted 9 October , 2008 Share Posted 9 October , 2008 or has he two medal cards ? There are two MICs: 1) For BWM & VM to A/Sjt Percy Yates, 11709 Manchester Regt. No further details. 2) For 15 Star to Pte D Yates, 11709 Manchester Regt. Marked KiA 9.7.16 - which is the date you gave for Percy's death! Neither are in CWGC or GRO War Deaths as far as I can see! Adrian EDIT: Second MIC added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
