war gratuity Help please - imperial reservists who were killed

[ss002d6252]

Does anyone have details of any 'Imperial reservists' who returned to the UK (preferably from Australia, if possible but other areas would also be handy) when called up in 1914 and who were later killed ?.

I'm interested in looking at some war gratuity issues for these men but don't have any names to go with.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Craig,

I knew I had at least one and just spent 100 years finding it !!!!

Seriously though, Private 20977 George Arthur UPSTONE, 2 GG, KiA 1/12/1917.

He emigrated to America (sorry) in April 1906 but returned to enlist at outbreak of war.

Hope this helps,

Graeme

Hi

Private 12632 Herbert Davis, 8SSR. Kia 1/1/1916.

Local newspapers reported that he "emigrated to Australia some years ago but returned to join the Army".
