Terry Denham Posted 28 April , 2009 Share Posted 28 April , 2009 CWGC added the following 'new' WW1 casualties to its Debt of Honour database today – Tuesday 28th April. Pte Percy William HARDING 88159 1st Bn, Welch Regiment Died 02.03.20 Age 24 Commemoration: Kirkee 1914-1918 Memorial, India Pte Henry PLATT 223 6th Bn, South Staffordshire Regiment Died 05.05.21 Age 17 Buried: Wolverhampton Borough Cemetery, Staffs, UK NOT FORGOTTEN Pte HARDING is an ‘In From the Cold Project’ case. He was accidentally drowned in the River Sutlej, near Ferozepore, India and his body was never recovered. (Volunteer: Steve Morse) Pte PLATT was put forward on 03.03.09 following the thread here http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/i...72&hl=platt He was originally a commemorated casualty and has a CWGC headstone but he was deleted from the records for now unknown reasons many years ago. His death certificate proved his membership of the forces and his entitlement to commemoration. His case was resubmitted to CWGC/MoD and his reinstatement is approved. A GWF joint effort!

NeilEvans Posted 28 April , 2009 Share Posted 28 April , 2009 It's good to see Platt up there. Although not a Shropshire casualty, fourm member Roy Evans, passed the information on to me at a South Staffs Meeting. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
