Simon_Fielding Posted 5 July , 2015 Share Posted 5 July , 2015 Does the entry actually say he died at home? Could the Regt be wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 5 July , 2015 Author Share Posted 5 July , 2015 It does not say he died at home, it does not say where he died at all. Could his regiment be wrong? anything is possible. If we cannot find him with the information provided, it may be incorrect information to start with I reckon. I am heading into the library in the morning and will have a look in the papers to see if there is any other mention of him. Kind regards. Tom.
