I am trying to trace this officer's records. I have searched the lists at the N A and I have looked on the Long List but this man is so far as I can see is not on the list. Could anyone please tell me where else I might be able to trace the documents assuming of course they actually exist.please. post-20087-0-12718500-1407512188_thumb.j

Just a little information I have gathered, (honing my search skills using the Forum posts is interesting).Casualty Lists on TheGenealogist.co.uk, show how long it could take for information to be disseminated in the UK after becoming a casualty:

Forename J A

Surname Bagnall

Casualty Status Wounded

Rank Sec. Lieut.

Regiment Northumberland Fusiliers

Daily List Date 25th September 1916

Category Officers

Casualty Status Wounded

Source Daily Casualty Lists

Forename J A

Surname Bagnall

Casualty Status Previously Reported Wounded, Now Reported Killed

Rank Sec. Lieut.

Regiment Northumberland Fusiliers

Daily List Date 2nd October 1916

Category Officers

I have also just noticed that the name on the MIC is not James Angus Bagnall, but John Angus Bagnall. Which corresponds with the CWGC record for the above details from TheGenealogist (which via a button at the end of the transcription takes you to the relevant CWGC record page). http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/182834/BAGNALL,%20JOHN%20ANGUS

His forename appears to be John as MIC not James ?

His death was reported in the Newcastle Journal 26th Sept 1916
