Missing SDGW Record. Gunner Stanley 148115

[Roger H]

I can't find the SDGW record for this man: http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/321774/STANLEY,%20EDWIN I know he died on 28/2/1919 but shouldn't there be a record for him? His MIC is on Ancestry. Am I missing something?

SDGW records stop at the armistice.

Thanks Keith, I thought that they went into 1919.

How come this bloke snuck in then?

Ancestry states the data set is from 1914-1919.

You answer your own question. He snuck in. There are very very few post-Armistice listings in SDGW.

[Roger H]

Thanks John. Just strange that he happened to have the same surname as the man I was after!!

Roger,

For what it is worth he joined the RFA at No. 4 Depot, Woolwich between July 7 - 10, 1916.

I will PM you with other men I have found who were in 311 Bde or the Army Brigade Ammunition Column.

[keithmroberts]

And an apology from me. I have never found casualties/deaths subsequent to the armistice, and didn't think any were included. Live and learn.

What on earth are you apologising for? It is clear that your post reflects the general principle.

I didn't think there were many either but I've just done search on the CD and there are 4193 records between 12.11.18 and 31.8.21.
