Guest Posted 2 June , 2016 Share Posted 2 June , 2016 Tom Some fascinating data. I looked at the variance between ages of the data above and there are some HUGE anomalies. 44% fewer men aged 41 died than those aged 40... or 77% more men aged 40 died than aged 41 28% fewer men aged 37 died than those aged 36....or 39% more men aged 36 died than aged 37 38% fewer men aged 31 died than those aged 30....or 61% more men aged 30 died than aged 31 I suspect with the 40-41 year-olds a number lied about their ages to get within the original volunteer recruiting age bracket. I have no idea why there would be such large distortions in the other age brackets. It is very unusual. The decennial ages seem to cluster...31 and 41 seem to have extremely large dips in the data perhaps suggesting that many men of this age may have been economical with the truth of their age. My speculation. MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 2 June , 2016 Author Share Posted 2 June , 2016 As the German in Rowan and Martin laugh-in used to say "very interesting". I see what you are getting at, I am sure that those recalled from the reserve would have been around that age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenJohnRoberts1958 Posted 9 June , 2016 Share Posted 9 June , 2016 Absolutely first class work. Well done and thank you very much for publishing it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 10 June , 2016 Author Share Posted 10 June , 2016 Not a bother Stephen and thank you kindly. It had to be done. It is really only the index sorted as statistics. The main database contains 6 million words, 29,493 paragraphs, 7,000 pages and 8,000 images. Cheers. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyman Posted 11 July , 2016 Share Posted 11 July , 2016 Museumtom - fascinating statistics. I'd be interested in the sole Essex Yeoman you've recorded - happy to swap notes on him (and also on any 5th Bn Essex R) Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Pegum Posted 11 July , 2016 Share Posted 11 July , 2016 Hi, Tom, Do the two British Red Cross casualties include Edmund Richard Meredith? He died of disease on 20th August, 1917 and is buried in Ravenna War Cemetery. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 12 July , 2016 Author Share Posted 12 July , 2016 Yes it does he lived at Fitzwilliam Square, Dublin and died of dysentery while with the First British Red Cross Unit for Italy. He was in Trinity College Dublin, and was called to the Bar in 1907. Himself and his father father served as Master of the Rolls in Ireland, His mother lived in Witwood, Camberley.

Jimmy Taylor Posted 15 July , 2016 Share Posted 15 July , 2016 Great job Tom. Very interesting but you really must include the other six counties to get a clear picture. All the best, Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 25 July , 2016 Author Share Posted 25 July , 2016 (edited) Just back from the War and Peace Revival, wrecked. The six counties is beyond me Jimmy, it took all I got to get this far and the apathy from the powers that be finally got me. The enthusiasm is gone, its a job for a younger man. Maybe that younger man might just be your good self? By the way than you most kindly for all your help in the past! Kindest regards. Tom. Edited 25 July , 2016 by museumtom Mis-spelling of 'six.'

momsirish Posted 28 August , 2016 Share Posted 28 August , 2016 Tom; All I can say is WOW, great work,and thanks. You're the guy who informed me of my two uncles. Pvt. Christie Delaney of the Royal Irish Regiment, KIA at Hooge, and CSM. Patrick Delaney of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, D.O.W. and buried at Haringhe Military Cemetery, so I'm sure they are in there. Even though it is in a statistical format many people seeing your work will back in their own minds eye remember to say Thank You.
