Remembered Today:

Confusion with deceased Italian soldier

There is a Soldato G Fulgoni who is commemorated by the CWGC. His death date is recorded as 9 October 1918.

There is a GRO record, recording the death of Giuseppe Fulgoni in Q4 1918 in Marylebone District, Volume 1A, Page 1234, and a birth date of 1884. You would have to see the death certificate to know if these refer to the same person. (He appears to have an MIC for a furtive request for campaign medals?)

It all gets very confusing with the Italian equivalent of CWGC/SDGW as they only have one G Fulgoni:

FULGONI, Giuseppe, [son] of Carlo
Soldier 201° infantry regiment, born 9 October 1896 in Bardi, Parma military district, died on 1 August 1917 in Bardi caused by illness

 

It seems like more than a coincidence that the CWGC death date is similar to this man's birth date, and yet he seems to have died in Italy!

 

I wonder what has happened here. It looks like two different people.
Is the Brookwood man needing the Italian equivalent of "In from the cold" treatment?
