Daniel Wright is "mine".

 

 

Buried in Dudley Borough Cemetery and on Dudley's war memorial, this poor lad was shot through the spine and crippled; he did not long survive discharge from the Army.

Hello John,

 

Did you supply the burial details to CWGC?

Yes, Chris.   I was very lucky as his papers survived, as does his grave in Dudley Cemetery.  Also, the Dudley Herald reported his death and subsequent funeral.  However, I still had to provide a Death Certificate - but as they're only 6 quid a pop now, that wasn't an issue.

 

BTW there's about half a dozen other Dudley lads on our memorial who aren't recognised by CWGC, so I'll be submitting a few more in the future.
