Guest Posted 3 September , 2009 Share Posted 3 September , 2009 Hi Kevin. This could be your man. Note the S looks like a G. North Staffordshire Reg, looks like he was wounded and discharged. Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apwright Posted 4 September , 2009 Share Posted 4 September , 2009 He has a brief pension record on Ancestry. 1st Garrison Bn North Staffordshire Regt. Discharged 24/8/18 with "Tubercule Lung Due To" [service], 100%. Discharge address Clavering St, Paisley. There's no mention of his death, but if you get his death certificate (from ScotlandsPeople) and it says Tuberculosis, then I'd say you've got a potential Non-Com.

Guest KevinEndon Posted 4 September , 2009 Share Posted 4 September , 2009 Thanks one and all, death cert is ordered. I think Paisleys roll of honour has a lot more hiding that will be brought in from the cold, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC78 Posted 16 February , 2020 Share Posted 16 February , 2020 I can't see Matthew Lonie on CWGC, was his name never put forward? His case looks good to me and the above discussion made it sound like this was all in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
