8055Bell Posted 1 January , 2023 Share Posted 1 January , 2023 The pension record show David Rogers was discharged with a long term award for VDH due to service on 19/11/1918. He died on 29/06/1919 and is buried at Hollinwood Cemetery. There’s a strong prospect the DC will show VDH and David Rogers qualifies for commemoration. Sadly, higher forces direct that I only succumb to a Manchester Regiment DC habit and I hope there is an equivalent Oldham or RWF researcher out there.

I rather presume [?? as I can't access it] that is a pension record somewhat akin to a Service Record with Medical Board notes at Ancestry. From WFA/Fold3: He had previously claimed for a [unspecified] disability pension on discharge, 19-11-18 receiving 19/3 pw from 20-11-18. [19/3 pw was the 70% disability rate for a Class V / Pte soldier] Address given as 53 Underlane, Oldham. Unfortunately his main MoP FILE DESTROYED 10.5.27 Pension cards at WFA/Fold3 do not show cause of death or further pension award/payments but after his death his [un-named] widow, at 56 Under Lane, Hollinwood, got a £5 Grant which was pretty standard for "urgent necessary expenses consequent upon or caused by his death" = commonly used for newspaper inserts it might be worth looking at local newspapers to see if he was mentioned after his death [or perhaps even before it].

8055Bell Posted 1 January , 2023 Author Share Posted 1 January , 2023 Sadly the Oldham Chronicle isn't online. The pension record is very clear about VDH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hywyn Posted 1 January , 2023 Share Posted 1 January , 2023 The Opinion of the Medical Board sheet provides that the aortic issue was deemed constitutional but aggravated. [From FindMYPast] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8055Bell Posted 1 January , 2023 Author Share Posted 1 January , 2023 Thanks Hywyn, I confused myself. Still qualifies though, if the DC states VDH or the like. Cheers Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that "aggravated" recorded elsewhere but I can't read it on the image provided ??? I'm reading As regards (1) Constitutional ???

Hywyn Posted 1 January , 2023 Share Posted 1 January , 2023 Agreed. I'll run him by Terry Denham and get the DC if he's a goer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, based on what I have seen here I would suspect he is dodgy so far as persuading CWGC/JCCC But maybe I haven't seen it all - or am misinterpreting.

Or the sherry has really got to me tonight! Or just old age!! Probably the combination!!! Looking better, though the WFA/Fold3 MoP will probably be of only modest help - but lots of dripping water can wear away a stone! Good luck with the DC.

Hywyn Posted 1 January , 2023 Share Posted 1 January , 2023 Book a double appointment because that's what I did initially and was posted about it being a bit iffy and then immediately spotted the aggravated bit. Hence my pigs ear effort to salvage my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence my pigs ear effort to salvage my post. I think quite likely a queue from GWF! - Other opticians are available!! You are forgiven - as I hope I can be! I'm sure you will keep us updated. Happy New Year to you and all [at GWF anyway]. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
