Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 4 May , 2019 Share Posted 4 May , 2019 (edited) Yes it is WR Brunton. The writer of the certificate has just botched the form up. The writer puts his service number in before his surname, then puts his forename initials in after his rank in the occupation column. Hence TT 02092(Sic) Brunton and Sergeant W.R. Wot he wrote was "All the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order". This is his CWGC entry: Last nameBRUNTON First name(s)WALTER ROBERT RankSerjeant Service numberTT/02692 RegimentArmy Veterinary Corps Edited 4 May , 2019 by Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Rayner Posted 4 May , 2019 Share Posted 4 May , 2019 Well done Dai. Lateral thinking there. Hadn't tried that option-not even considered it.

museumtom Posted 4 May , 2019 Author Share Posted 4 May , 2019 That's brilliant, thank you everyone very much indeed. Internet not great here and I did not bring the death certs with me, what a silly old man. People like me should not be let out on their own! You must all take the night off I am afraid, sorry lads and lassies. Again I am very grateful for all your help, Thanks again. Kind regards. Tom.

museumtom Posted 5 May , 2019 Author Share Posted 5 May , 2019 It is a very special place George, most of it is underground. During the summer I spend a lot of time here as a volunteer and bring the databases for the WW1 Irish war dead for the public to access. Its a free weekend away in a brilliant historical place with views of Cork habour you will not see anywhere. Happy days but occasional rubbish internet speed, it even has a few spooks but we don't like to talk about that. Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
