Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 23 April , 2020 Share Posted 23 April , 2020 Hi Tom, Re:David Darcy, 5 hours ago, museumtom said: Thank you Mark, but V.D.H. is heart problems? Yes it is Tom, Valvular Disease of the Heart. Quite often due to Rheumatic Fever, or could be congenital. It means the valves leak or are very narrowed, the pump has to work harder, and fails. So deemed not to be due to service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I had a V.D.H. case accepted last month, it did come with that not uncommon qualification of "condition not caused by war service, but aggravated by it". As you rightly say, I think V.D.H. as a standalone might prove to be insufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it would be hard to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 23 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 23 April , 2020 Thank you Craig, Mark, Dai, and Vlaamse. It will take a bit of time to assimilate all this info. Thank you all very much indeed for all your help. These lads would only be a name on a death cert without you. I have been overwhelmed with data, which is a great thing. Kind regards. Tom.

Mark1959 Posted 24 April , 2020 Share Posted 24 April , 2020 (edited) Barrett only lasted in the Connaughts several months in 1905 as 8455 So if he re-enlisted he would probably want to hide his identity as discharged with ignominy. So may be looking for different name or regiment in WW1 Edited 24 April , 2020 by Mark1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
