apwright Posted 2 November , 2009 Share Posted 2 November , 2009 Why is 350701 JOHNSON commemorated as "Mossis Lesie"? Looks like Norris Leslie to me. ...though the MIC is indexed "Louis Leslie" Perhaps this chap: Births Mar 1898, JOHNSON Norris Leslie, Wandsworth (1d 674) Son of Charles James and Lilian M JOHNSON, brother of Ernest Marshall C JOHNSON, living at 14 Daventry Ave, Walthamstow, in 1901. Does the DC say "Mossis Lesie", and is that the supreme authority? Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Denham Posted 2 November , 2009 Author Share Posted 2 November , 2009 Adrian Correct. That is the spelling on the DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apwright Posted 2 November , 2009 Share Posted 2 November , 2009 Thanks for the reply, Terry. Maybe one day a descendent will rediscover him and get it corrected (if it is indeed wrong)! I was also going to say something about it being a pretty big Labour Corps number for someone who died in 1916, but now I've found this: Can't find any trace of him post-war though...

Adrian I think this one needs a review, Terry - DC extant or not. A previous thread on the forum seemed to establish that the SWB had to be applied for by the individual at the time of, or post-discharge, so there is no obvious explanation of why a man who was allegedly killed in 1916 was still "quick" enough to do so in 1918.

Terry Denham Posted 4 November , 2009 Author Share Posted 4 November , 2009 Andy We have a system in place for any such case to be reviewed by MoD. There have been about six such cases but not all with totally convincing evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
