museumtom Posted 6 May , 2019 Author Share Posted 6 May , 2019 Fantastic finds George, Craig and Dai. I just could not do it no matter what I did. I knew you lads would be on top of it straight away. George Burrage was on the top of that sheet. I did not list him as I did find him, one of my few successes. Would you please post a link to his record for me? I will not give up on McDonald and will send Terry the death cert anyway, its the only thing we can do. Again let me say how much I appreciate your help, thank you all very much indeed. Kindest regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss002d6252 Posted 7 May , 2019 Share Posted 7 May , 2019 (edited) Spent 85 days in Hospital due to TB from 4 Jan 17 to 18 Apr 17 so clearly crosses with his service and discharge. Medical record also confirms TB. Dai has found another man for you to submit. EDIT: The record seems to be two different men combined in to one file - #3/247 and #2487 - the first pages are for #247 and then it swaps to those for #2487. #3/247 looks to be the right man (#2487 is a decade older).
