Dear Sir#

CWGC Commemorations submitted 9 /12/2115 Pte Proctor died post-discharge of tuberculosis (Volunteer: George Center) No further actions? is there any  information on this request for a grave marker for this soldier  for St Mark's Churchyard  Armagh N.Ireland

The situation with Pte Proctor is that no burial register was available for this location. The final decision with regard to his commemoration rests with CWGC.

 

Cheers

Hello Joe

 

The burial register will be required so we can get this case sorted. Sorry about the late reply, but I have been unwell. Contact me by personal message then we can exchange e mails.

 

Cheers
