Right.

His service records are on Ancestry.

The entries for his last weeks of service are:

 

Undated entry stating he had died of Malignant Endocarditis.

17/9/19 - 1/10/19 Leave to UK

21/10/19  Admitted to Military Hospital

11/11/19 Discharged as unfit for service.

 

This page confirms:

He dies a couple of months later from Endocarditis, a known complication of VDH.

Black and white/barn door/ open and shut  case.

Submit it.

Guaranteed to be accepted.

Death certificate will only confirm what's in his SR, but CWGC may insist on it.

BerniceUK,

 

Can I suggest that you forward this case to @Terry Denham at the 'In From the Cold' project?

IFTC has gained acceptance for hundreds of previously forgotten soldiers.

Will do. I was going to order a copy of his death certificate, but if you feel that that's not necessary, I won't.

[Dai Bach y Sowldiwr]

Send it to Terry Denham and see what he says.

[BereniceUK]

Sent, with a link to this thread.

What was the outcome with regard to Percy Singleton? I don't see him on the IFCP list.
