Can you find this casualty Pt. 3

[NeilEvans]

Yet another chap that has baffled atleast 4 knowledgeable people.

R. Dale, Australian Imperial Force, is remembered on Madeley Civic Memorial. Having checked the Australian records there are a number of R. Dales but with no obvious links to Shropshire. I have been able to trace Dale's residing in Madeley in one of the census' but i have not got any futher

I suspect the R. Dale might have been Australian born, perhaps his grand parents were from Shropshire. However there are no R. Dale Australian Casualties.

Can you help?

Just a bump. Any takers?

In the absence of others:

Could he have been buried in Madeley, dying from wounds or illness with some distant relative?

Whilst there is no R Dale in AIF Casualties, there are 2 R DALEY's Could it be a mistake on the Memorial?

Then there is this chap....

I've checked the 2 Daleys for any connection with out sucess. Henry Davies is on the memorial.
