TB death

Recommended Posts

Reginald BEAUMONT aged 23 died of Pulmonary Tuberculosis at home here in Bergh Apton, Norfolk on 5th Jan 1921. His occupation is given as Gardner (Domestic) Ex Army (Pensioner). His MIC states RFA (877001) and RAMC (2463) with VM and BWM. Also SWB list RA/3195. His identity is confirmed as amazingly his address is on the back of the MIC. There's no service record extant, at least not on Ancestry. Would he be a contender and if so what do I do now?

His elder brother Robert was killed in 1917 with 22 Mancs.

You only have half the story.

The cause of death has to be related to his service and so you will need to ascertain if he was discharged due to TB or similar complaint. As TB was rife in the general population, he may have contracted it post-service and his discharge could have been for totally unconnected reasons. Until you can make the connection there is little you can do.
