Boreenatra Posted 22 September , 2005 Share Posted 22 September , 2005 Can anyone give me some information re George Henry Bush. A section of his family stone in Ilford is here. Would burial at sea indicate Naval connections or are there other circumstances where a person would be buried at sea? Any info appreciated. Regards Steve.

Bob Coulson Posted 22 September , 2005 Share Posted 22 September , 2005 Possibly a Gallipoli man who died in transit to Alexandria, I believe many did. Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boreenatra Posted 22 September , 2005 Author Share Posted 22 September , 2005 Bob. Thanks for your reply. Checking the info re Chatby cemetery in Alexandria it mentions many servicemen died on troop ships and ships bringing in supplies etc after being sunk in the Med. However there is no mention of my man in the CWGC lists. Would a SDGW look up be more likely to find him although I have no info on him but would assume with the date and location that it would have some military connection somewhere. If anyone can look him up or find any info on him it would be much appreciated. Regards Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisharley9 Posted 22 September , 2005 Share Posted 22 September , 2005 Steve have done an SDGW, but your chap does not show up despite numerous permutations. Perhaps either an assumed name or was he a civilian All The Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
