Discharged 28/06/1918, invaliding disability was VDH which was either due to or aggravated by service in Gibraltar between 1915 and 1918. He died less than a month later on 24/07/1918.

Whether or not this adds up to a viable case will depend entirely on his cause of death as stated on the death certificate.

[Matlock1418]

I agree, for CWGC the DC cause of death will need to closely match the VDH medical terms of discharge.

His discharge address and that of his widow was 9 Upper Salisbury Street, Tredegar
