Just to say a heartfelt Thanks to Terry, Chris and all in the IFTC team.for the work they continue to do to ensure that these men are Not Forgotten.

William is no relation, but attended the same Church in Chiswick and I am appreciative that even after so long, men rightfully due commemoration in the Debt of Honour database are still being added.

I note that four of the five men mentioned above died from TB. I have seen that it was recorded in Parliament (Hansard) that by 1918 already 20,000 men had been discharged due to TB. I was wondering if there are records of how many men died of TB during and/or after the war?

Many thanks for that, Chris. Presumably the plot number can be found from the Cemetery Register and a CWGC headstone "in due course"

Appreciate all the help and work done by the IFTC team, and warm wishes to you all for a successful New Year and a merry Christmas!

Hi, I have come across an image of Thomas Nesham Royal engineers.  Is there anywhere anyone could suggest I could post it. Any website or memorial site? Cheers.
