mmm45 Posted 22 August , 2011 Share Posted 22 August , 2011 Hi This has probably been asked before....Did members of the Volunteer Battalions get awarded CWGC status if they died in uniform? I suspect not but am unsure as Ive found a big write up for a lad of 4yrs service who died in March 1919 but isnt on the Debt Of Honour Thanks Ady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 22 August , 2011 Share Posted 22 August , 2011 Anyone who was in military service at the time of their death automatically qualifies. Reservists had to be embodied at the time of death though. Was this man still in service or had he been discharged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmm45 Posted 22 August , 2011 Author Share Posted 22 August , 2011 Terry He was QMS Of D Coy (Heckmondwike) 1st Battalion Duke Of Wellingtons (WRR) Volunteer Battalion ie the equivalent of WW2 Home Guard...Ive just done a search on here and sadly doesnt look like they qualify Thanks Ady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 22 August , 2011 Share Posted 22 August , 2011 As he was not embodied military, he would not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
