Tom Tulloch-Marshall Posted 5 September , 2004 Share Posted 5 September , 2004 Tom - copy of article and photo ordered. Jock - ! A1 result ! - thanks a lot for that - will see you at TNA this week ? - I should be in most days except Monday (another visit to the NHS butchery dept ) Well Terry - beyond all doubt then. I suppose the challenge now is to come up with an even later repatriation from F&F ......... and I was also intrigued by your earlier comment about there being no Other Rank repatriations .......... I wonder ..... (?) ....................... sorry, Jock - forgot to say - the photo of Scott, I take it as read that its a colour one ............. regards - Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 5 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 5 September , 2004 Tom No 'Other Rank' repatriations from the WF during the war have ever come to light. There are some examples after the war and of OR repats from the UK and USA to Canada and from Canada to the USA. Happy to hear of any proven case otherwise!

Terry Denham Posted 5 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 5 September , 2004 NS Yes I do count those sent back from Canada to the US because they were US citizens. However, they are the most difficult to track down. Know of any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 5 September , 2004 Share Posted 5 September , 2004 Terry Not at this time as I go through my list I will post any I come across I have not researched any other battalion so all I have is 25th men.

robbie Posted 27 April , 2005 Share Posted 27 April , 2005 I have a similar entry for an Australian soldier lost in the same circumstances. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Terry, what is his name and regiment? Robbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 27 April , 2005 Author Share Posted 27 April , 2005 Robbie Not actually an Australian. Major William Edward MANSER Royal Engineers He died in Australia 08.04.17 and he was being repatriated (presumably not contrary to the rules as Australia was not a war zone) when his body was lost at sea en route. He had been a military member of the Australian Naval Transport Board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Denham Posted 28 April , 2005 Author Share Posted 28 April , 2005 CWGC does not record the ship nor the date of the loss and so I have not yet tracked down that info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.wight Posted 28 September , 2012 Share Posted 28 September , 2012 Terry, while going through the War Diaries of the Canadian Cyclist Company Depot, I came across an entry for Pte Carroll Alfred Conner, #2134932,who died on the 23rd May, 1917 at Chiseldon and whose body was returned to Canada for burial on the 11th June, 1917 via the S.S. Scandinavia. The War Diary entry can be seen here and his full service file is available for viewing at Library and Archives Canada, here. So it appears someone had been doing research about him recently. His family tombstone with his name on it can be seen here along with his CWGC tombstone.

johntanner Posted 28 September , 2012 Share Posted 28 September , 2012 Terry I assume you have John Alexander Halliday, 11th Hussars. Details in the hyperlink below the line, including his striking grave stone. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
