Perth Digger Posted 7 December , 2017 Share Posted 7 December , 2017 (edited) Does anyone know, please, who Captain Staunton was? He was working in the War Office at the end of 1914, but in what capacity I do not know. He may have been involved with the Casualties Department. Belay that. I've found that his name may have been Stanton and that he was a retired officer clerk, responsible for all correspondence with Cas. 2. Thanks Mike Edited 7 December , 2017 by Perth Digger Additional information added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBrook Posted 7 December , 2017 Share Posted 7 December , 2017 If it was Maj. Harold James Clifford Stanton, M.V.O., then his funeral report from the Gloucester Journal of Saturday 5 March 1927. He died on 22 February 1927. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perth Digger Posted 8 December , 2017 Author Share Posted 8 December , 2017 (edited) Hi Charles and Harry Yes, he's the one, thanks very much. The Gloucestershire connection helps to explain how he knew a bereaved mother I am looking at.
