I'll await results and use my Council connections to see if I can find his plot. Hopefully a headstone might result. Dave OK @museumtom, @jdoyle, I have found both the burial record for 22395 Gerald (Jeremiah) O'Neill and his burial plot. The plot was marked out for me by Esker Cemetery's caretaker. I have put in some aluminium pegs to make the marking more permanent, and am in the process of making a temporary wooden marker with a 3D printed name plate. Where should I go from here?

A great find, well done indeed. Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did argue the toss saying that his nephritis was contracted during service and he died from the same but Terry says the gap is too long between discharge and death and it does not show he was discharged with nephritis, etc. He says perhaps things will change and to re-send in another 6 months. Was taking another look at this one (John Edwards 4731) and it's one of mine! Submitted to IFCP June 2021, accepted for commemoration October 2021. Not sure why Terry would have knocked it back when you asked, although this past year he's been a bit hesitant over cases that rely too much on pension cards and are lacking service records. You can cross him off your list, anyway. https://www.cwgc.org/find-records/find-war-dead/casualty-details/75466777/john-edwards/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 23 October , 2022 Author Share Posted 23 October , 2022 Hello Paul. I did not know you submitted him in 2021 and so, I submitted him in 2022. Terry suggests to re-submit him in 6 months which I have him lined up to do. Then I look in the CWGC and there he is! I note his grave reference has not been added. https://www.cwgc.org/find-records/find-war-dead/casualty-details/75466777/john-edwards/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIME TRAVELLER Posted 28 October , 2022 Share Posted 28 October , 2022 Hi George. Just joined the site today and i am not even sure if you will see this post with regards to your post back in 2020 regarding the sinking of the ship the SS Rochester in Nov 1917 and its crew which was captained by Erik Kokeritz. I published a book last year called Captain Kokeritz, An American Hero and so if you require any info regarding the men onboard and what happened to them do not hesitate to get in touch.

WFA card shows he was discharged for TB. Showing as "att" - assume attributable. I will point out DofD of 1/10/21 is after the 31/08/21 cut-off for recognition. Address is Moore St. Kilrush on card. His death is noted on card in 10/21 but no exact date indicated, https://www.fold3.com/image/1/645033383 My great Uncle Walter Gill was discharged for TB and later died of it in County Clare Kilrush Ireland in 1921 i am trying to work out if you are talking about my Walter of another,did i see someone write they have a image of Him? if so id love to see it !

museumtom Posted 22 January , 2023 Author Share Posted 22 January , 2023 We search for soldiers who died after discharge, before 31/08/1921 from anything that was caused by or was contracted during the war. Some of them are entitled to be remembered in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, however Walter died after this date so does not qualify. Cheers. Tom. Below from.
