Looking for any information on the above.

He died in 1926 in India, and is mentioned on a plaque in All Souls Church in CWnpore (Kanpur) India.

Private nr 5945349.

I have photo of the plaque, but it isnt a very clear image.

Family Search have the following record

name: George Arthur Holt

gender: Male

burial date: 12 Apr 1926

burial place: Cawnpore, Bengal, India

death date: 11 Apr 1926

age: 21

birth date: 1905

marital status: Unknown

indexing project (batch) number: B75054-5

system origin: India-EASy

source film number: 527585

You can obtain a copy of the record, which may have the cause of death. This death is also listed on the Overseas Army Index, so you could obtain a copy from the GRO. It is very likely that he died from a disease such as cholera or dysentery, possibly influenza, even sunstroke. The GRO record is more likely to have the cause of death.

Cheers
