FH Baker RFA 1831 / 825614

[priv]

Pals,

I have just obtained the Trio to this man and need an SDGW check for the following reason. CWGC has Baker FH 825614 (his TF re-number) as having died on 19/12/18 and being buried in Essex with a wife living in Chelmsford. His TF number indicates service with the 1st South Midland Brigade - hailing from Gloiucester/Clifton.

I have his MIC which confirms the 2 numbers but also states that he was Discharged some 20 days after he died ? Obviously an error there, but could anyone let me know what the SDGW entry says ???

Many thanks in advance.

No man of that name and number in SDGW.

Terry,

Many thanks for checking - I since gather that SDGW does not always include those who died after 11/11/18.

I will have to see what the research throw up - I was more intigued by the fact that he was a pre war terrier from Clifton/Bristol - but had a wife, lived and died in Essex.

Thanks again

Was he possibly transferred to the 1st South Midland Brigade during the war, after first serving with a more local unit?

Is he definately a pre-war territorial (bearing in mind that, depending on the unit ,the low number can be misleading)?
