Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 21 May , 2019 Share Posted 21 May , 2019 (edited) Attested in Labour Corps under that number in 1894. Can't see any medical info in his records. South Africa medals. Seemed to have served his time (Royal Dublin Fus.?), joined up 1914. France 14-15, Home 15-17, France 17-18 (4/11/1917 Transerred to 938 Coy Lab Corps). Seems to have drawn a pension April 1918 while still serving. Last entry was after leave Aug-Sep 1918 - "7/9/18 Rejd. Company." No discharge papers unfortunately.

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 21 May , 2019 Share Posted 21 May , 2019 (edited) Just looking at his DC, it says 'Tuberculosis 2 months". Which would imply that he began his symptoms at or near the time of discharge. But was that the reason for his discharge? No extra information on his MIC: Link Edited 21 May , 2019 by Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 21 May , 2019 Author Share Posted 21 May , 2019 Thanks Dyfed, IFCP dont do 'imply' They don't assume, we have to prove it. Mores the pity. If we can find his reason for discharge that should say if it was caused by or aggravated by service. Thanks again Dyfed. Much appreciated. Tom.

George Rayner Posted 21 May , 2019 Share Posted 21 May , 2019 Interesting that 'potentially' his son puts him down as -somewhere in France! https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/1219/31239_205343-00291?pid=4389888&backurl=https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?_phsrc%3DYiy19631%26_phstart%3DsuccessSource%26usePUBJs%3Dtrue%26indiv%3D1%26dbid%3D1219%26gsfn%3DWilliam%26gsln%3DVodrey%26new%3D1%26rank%3D1%26uidh%3Dq9c%26redir%3Dfalse%26msT%3D1%26gss%3Dangs-d%26pcat%3D39%26fh%3D1%26h%3D4389888%26recoff%3D%26ml_rpos%3D2&treeid=&personid=&hintid=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=Yiy19631&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 21 May , 2019 Author Share Posted 21 May , 2019 Feck! I searched for a months before and a month after his death on CWGC and still didn't find him. Obviously Elizabeth is a wife of a Labor Corps man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
