Terry Denham Posted 30 March , 2010 Share Posted 30 March , 2010 As many of you know, the CWGC online database has not been updated due to a system program problem. A possible fix was made today and as part of that process the following new casualties were added. It remains to be seen if everything is now back to normal. Gnr Frederick COX 4559 Canadian Garrison Artillery Died 09.03.15 Buried: Quebec City (St Patrick's) Roman Catholic Cemetery, PQ, Canada Lt-Col Andrew Robertson GORDON Canadian Army Medical Corps Died 16.12.16 Buried: Toronto (Mount Pleasant) Cemetery, Ontario, Canada Sgt George William Harrison 9325 Royal Canadian Regiment Died 16.10.15 Buried: Esquimalt (Veteran's) Cemetery, BC, Canada Pte Henry JONES 12234 3 Bn, Cheshire Regiment Died 15.11.18 Age 45 Buried: Chester (Overleigh) Cemetery, Cheshire Cpl Henry William O'KEEFE A/358090 Royal Army service Corps (Canteens) Died 25.03.19 Age 40 Commemoration: Brookwood (United Kingdom 1914-1918) Memorial, Surrey, UK L/Bmdr Edgar PICKETT 1375 Royal Field Artillery Died 25.07.18 Commemoration: Brookwood (United Kingdom 1914-1918) Memorial, Surrey, UK NOT FORGOTTEN Cpl O'Keefe is an IFCP case.

grantowi Posted 30 March , 2010 Share Posted 30 March , 2010 Well done Terry and the team. RIP Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Underdown Posted 30 March , 2010 Share Posted 30 March , 2010 Many thanks to IFCP, particularly Terry and Chris Hartley who respectively submitted the case on my behalf, and tracked down Henry Jones's grave in Overleight Cemetery, Chester. Jones was only the second WWI serviceman I tried to research, and didn't initially hold out much hope of getting anywhere due to his common name, but I struck lucky. He is believed to have been one of the ringers listed on the Central Council for Church Bell Ringers Roll of Honour - though I haven't managed to find absolutely unequivocal proof taht the Henry Jones now recognised by CWGC is the H Jones on the CCCBR Roll, but the circumstantial evidence is pretty good.

John_Hartley Posted 30 March , 2010 Share Posted 30 March , 2010 Chris Hartley I know IFCP is a close team but there's Chris Harley and John Hartley. We have not yet merged into a single super-being. In this case, the doings were by Chris. For future reference, for folk wanting to separate Harley & Hartley, I'm the good looking one and he's the rich generous one who will buy anyone a pint.

David_Underdown Posted 31 March , 2010 Share Posted 31 March , 2010 Bravo, David! Bruce Well, maybe those Year 9 history lessons a few (well actually a surpringly large) number of years ago had some effect. Though it would appear that your erstwhile colleagues in the English department didn't manage to drum basic comprehension into me. I even emailed Chris twice about something else yesterday. Sorry gents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
