Civilian/Marine deaths from enemy action at sea

Can you please look up Sidney or Sydney George Keeler. He's on our war memorial but his age of sixteen would be wrong for the CWGC entry. We have one name on the memorial who was a civilian killed on a drifter mineclearing, so there might be others.

There is no Keeler with the first name of Sidney/Sydney/George.

Pete,

Thanks for the info on Thomas Clegg. He was in the Royal Naval Auxiliary (if that was the contemporary title?) and was accidentally drowned in the Shatt-al-Arab.....so no CWGC commemoration.

Andy.
