apwright Posted 10 October , 2007 Share Posted 10 October , 2007 would it be possible for Pte A E Butcher 204477 of the Royal West Kent be him? According to his MIC, 204477 A E Butcher's first name was Albert, so probably not your man. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documen...Edoc_Id=1817064 === VicMill, Re. your F.

Filbert70 Posted 10 October , 2007 Share Posted 10 October , 2007 Hello could someone please do a lookup for 242370 Pte Frederick Clarkson East Surrey Regiment. Many thanks for your time, Regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procat Posted 10 October , 2007 Share Posted 10 October , 2007 Hi Ian, No hits on the information you provided. He doesn't appear on the CWGC site either. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filbert70 Posted 10 October , 2007 Share Posted 10 October , 2007 Many thanks for looking Doug. He appears on a church memorial but I couldn't find him on CWGC either. Have found his MIC where he was awarded a Silver War Badge along with BWM and VM. If he was wounded and then transfered back to the UK but then later died in hospital for example, shouldn't he still appear on CWGC? Thanks again Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procat Posted 10 October , 2007 Share Posted 10 October , 2007 Hi Ian, He wasn't KIA - he is recorded on the "pension records" on Ancestry. If you PM your email to me I can send the images to you. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalogan Posted 21 November , 2007 Share Posted 21 November , 2007 Hi Doug Is your offer of a LOOKUP still on? If so I am trying to find out some more info on my mum's uncle James Alexander. Reg no 9199 1st Bat Seaforth Highlanders. Died 13 Oct 1914 and burried at Meteren. Any further info on whether he died on the field or of wounds, what battle/s was/had he been involved in. Also my mum's dad, Thomas Alexander Reg no 9157 2nd Bat Seaforths, bullet wound in left forearm sometime during WW1, and treated at BRX (Netley). Both brothers were born in Inverness, Scotland and would have enlisted at Fort George I think. On behalf of everyone, many thanks for all your hard work on this. Kind regards Alison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Lewis Posted 21 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 21 November , 2007 Alison I can only give you information on James Alexander,presuming that your Grandad survived,the database is Soldiers Died in the Great War. You will need to post in soldiers for more information on which action James was killed in Born-Inverness,enlisted Edinburgh, Killed in Action.

Gunner R.A. Posted 2 December , 2007 Share Posted 2 December , 2007 Hi Pete I'm unable to find him. Regards Doug Hello Doug, thanks for looking, it is appreciated. How common is it for a soldier to be on the CWGC site and not on the SDITGW cd? regards, Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoons Posted 2 December , 2007 Share Posted 2 December , 2007 Sorry if this has been asked before, but I noticed that Sapper Jones died 4 days after the armistice. Does SDGW use the same dates for inclusion as CWGC or does it cut off on armistice day? \Spoons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Lewis Posted 2 December , 2007 Author Share Posted 2 December , 2007 Pete I don't know how common it is for a name to be on CWGC but not SDGW, I have version one so he may well be on the updated version.

barrowford29 Posted 5 January , 2008 Share Posted 5 January , 2008 Hello. I'm new to the forum and wondered if you would be kind enough to look for private joseph walsh 5846 of the coldstream guards 1st battalion died 29-10-1914. A picture (if there is one) would be brilliant. Thank you for your time, Kind regards, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
