Pavster1980 Posted 18 October , 2011 Share Posted 18 October , 2011 Hello I have been researching the men of East Keswick that gave their livesin World War 1, during my research I have come across a man who is not listed at the CWGC. He is:- Harold Rushforth 41020 KOYLI later with the Labour Corps 519271 His pension records state that he was no longer fit due to TB, he later died on 3/2/1919 from (1) Pulminary Tuberculosis and (2) Pulminary Haemorrhage. Would this man qualify for a CWG? Have attached clip of Death Cert and Pension records Many thanks in advance Rich Rich Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
