SDGW Lookup

[Tom A McCluskey]

If possible,

Could someone do a SDGW for:

Gunner Harry Cunliffe

C Battery, 78 Brigade, Royal Field Artillery

He died at Thiepval in 1917

I believe he was from Burnley/Lancashire

Also, Harry does not have a MIC (on NA site), nor does his brother Richard. Would there be any reason for this?

Both of them definitely served in the Artillery during the First World War.

In advance, MANY THANKS

Have you tried searching on name and also only initials. I found 3:

2/Lt (Maj) William Richard Cunliffe 33 Bde. RFA

2/Lt (Lt) R.G. Cunliffe 54th Heavy Bty. RGA

171717 Gnr John R. Cunliffe RGA

If you have his regiment number (on medals if they are still around), try entering just that in the Other Keyword field, it usually works.

There are some errors in the MIC indexing, might be the problem (some cards are hard to read, the quality of the scans could be better)

Did he transfer to Artillery from elsewhere?
