Two name son my local War Memorial:

Frederick Thomas Mott Hyde

Frederick Thomas Mott.

The first one is no problem, i have identified him, he lies in Gallipoli

I cannot find Frederick Thomas Mott or find anyone that could fit. I am now beginning to think this is the same person?

Would you agree?

Have you tried the Medal Index Cards and the 1901 Census, Anthony?

Kate,

Yes i have had a look there.

I think F T Mott Hyde was born Burton on Trent way (i think, haven't got my notes with me at the moment), but can't find him on the 1901.

F T Mott, nothing obvious either.

I had difficulty tying down names on our Village war memorial, a contributing factor was that it was erected in 1924, two names I could not trace both of whom evidently died because of their war service one in 1921 and one in 1922. the cut off date for soldiers on the Commonwealth War Graves register

was/is 31st August 1921. I finally found their obituaries in the local paper.

Another one who caused difficulty was a man who enlisted under his adopted name Thomas Bostock Fox was medically discharged and re-enlisted under his birth name, Thomas Bostock,

K.I.A. Loos

Good luck Cliff.
