Matlock1418 Posted 31 January , 2023 Share Posted 31 January , 2023 Before I go any further - just checking if this man has been considered as a non-commemoration case / is being reviewed or has recently been presented by anyone else ?? Died after discharge from Pulmonary Tuberculosic com. on AS I have: Medal Roll - BWM - Served in theatre of war [India] 22.12.15 to 16.3.17 MIC - BWM SWB List [Badge 122665] - KR para 392 xvi Sick Soldiers' Effects Register [Can't make out place of death = can anyone help with this please?] Disability Pension Card - Discharged 7.8.17 Dependant's pension card - Widow, Elizabeth Jane LEE, 72 Standard Rd, Enfield Lock - got a pension for herself and four children Dependants pension ledger page But not got [but hopefully sought] Pension/Service Record = Anyone found such? Death Certificate His place of burial [Enfield Lock or Edmonton area perhaps] This rather looks like his death: Name: Age at Death (in years): LEE, CHARLES JAMES 43 GRO Reference: 1917 D Quarter in EDMONTON Volume 03A Page 685 and thus back his birth: Name: Mother's Maiden Surname: LEE, CHARLES JAMES - GRO Reference: 1874 J Quarter in EDMONTON Volume 03A Page 186 I hope members can please help me with my searches.

Obviously I would prefer something more than the WFA/Fold3 material which I already have. Hmmm? How to get a look?? M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleased to have been so proved! Have had an excellent piece of clarifying information provided - that there is a Service/medical record available including some magic words [in this current situation]: Pulmonary TB - Result of active service = A very big thank you to that kind soul! So providing not he's not been considered before and somehow rejected/not currently being considered then a DC seems the likely next step before a case is made/presented. In the meantime - Natually, if any member can help identify where he is buried then that would also be much appreciated too.

PaulC78 Posted 31 January , 2023 Share Posted 31 January , 2023 Not on the IFCP list. Might be worth emailing Enfield Council about the burial. Thier website says they charge a fee but if you play dumb and ask anyway there's always a chance you'll get what you want for free. No harm in trying, anyway! https://www.enfield.gov.uk/services/births-deaths-and-marriages/cemeteries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matlock1418 Posted 31 January , 2023 Author Share Posted 31 January , 2023 (edited) A further request of members please ... = Has anyone seen any newspaper article about Charles James LEE? His widow got the death expenses grant - so she might have, as was commonly the case, spent some of it for a local newspaper entry ??? Photo, funeral and/or burial details might perhaps be available and useful - in hope. TIA M Edited 31 January , 2023 by Matlock1418 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matlock1418 Posted 13 February , 2023 Author Share Posted 13 February , 2023 Death Certificate has been obtained - seems to support/at least not counter a case for commemoration. Image thanks to GRO Non-comm. case submitted to CWGC But ... Still looking for his burial. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matlock1418 Posted 22 February , 2023 Author Share Posted 22 February , 2023 Update: CWGC have given LEE the non-comm case number of 11923 M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
