bobpike Posted 11 January , 2005 Author Share Posted 11 January , 2005 Again, thanks. Two questions - what was the RE Special Brigade & any suggestions why Barrick does not appear on CWGC, post 1921 death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pete Wood Posted 11 January , 2005 Share Posted 11 January , 2005 Again, thanks. Two questions - what was the RE Special Brigade & any suggestions why Barrick does not appear on CWGC, post 1921 death? As you suggest, Barrick may have died after the cut-off date. Or he may have been discharged, and his death was not found to be caused by military service. It would seem that a number of your casualties are not recorded by the military. Some memorial committees were obviously more 'liberal' with their criteria for being recorded than others. Good for the liberals, I say. You may find his records survive, which could provide more info. There are also a few Labour Corps experts on the forum, who can tell you when this man transferred (based on his number) from the Suffolks. Do a search on the forum, but I'm fairly sure the Special Brigade had a role connected with gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Nulty Posted 11 January , 2005 Share Posted 11 January , 2005 There are two Thomas Hephers in Great Chesterford in 1901; father and son. The father is a 26 year old butcher, born in Swavensey, Cambs. He's married to Fanny, aged 28. Their son Thomas is 11 months old and was born in Great Chesterford.

David_Underdown Posted 13 April , 2010 Share Posted 13 April , 2010 Resurrecting this as the name George Henry Barrick has come up in research into bell ringers killed in the First World War. He does not appear on the original Great War Roll of Honour, but is recorded on a ringers' memorial in the church at Great Dunmow. Some of his records survive and are on Ancestry, and show that he developed leukaemia during the period of his service, considered aggravated by service. I'm currently waiting on his death certificate to check that it confirms his death was from the same cause, and if it was, will put the wheels in motion for consideration of his case for commemoration.
