Many thanks for sending the photocopy. It had quite a lot about my grandfather which I hadn't known before.

I have found the notification of his death but only the information which you already have is given. There was no obituary in a subsequent edition.

My great uncle, Grover Carter, 1st Leitenant, USA, attached to the BEF for his entire service, died of shrapnel wounds near Le Cateau, Oct. 16, 1918. I wonder if he might have been mentioned. One of the forum members found him listed in the British MCI. He was a doctor from Memphis, Tennessee, first assigned to Dartford Hospical (Oct. 1917) and then sent to France March, 1918.

Thanks,

Ann

Pete,

Can you look up Lieutenant John L. Loftus, MD, MC, who was an American volunteer surgeon attached to the RAMC serving with the 1/2 West Riding Field Ambulance, 49th West Riding Division. His MC appears on War Office List No 40 (British Decorations Awarded to the American Army), dated 18 July 1919. The action for the MC occurred between March 19-26, 1918, when Dr. Loftus established a medical station during a German gas shelling. Dr. Loftus was my grandfather. Thanks in advance for your help.

Pete,

Just a public thank-you for your work in finding Surgeon G A Walker's obit. and sending it to me.

It'll flesh out someone who till now has been just a vague name on a memorial.

Sincerely,

Pete, What a great resource and a most generous offer. I would be grateful for anything you have on Surgeon Henry Brice Parker, Nelson Battalion, RND at Gallipoli, for which he was awarded the DSC.

Thanks, Pete.

Is there mention of Capt. W.L. COCKCROFT

RAMC, 2 / 1st East Lancs. Field Ambulance.

He survived the sinking of HMT Royal Edward, 13th. August, 1915. He won the Sea Gallantry Medal.

William Lonsdale Cockcroft qualified MRCS, LRCP in 1915.

He joined the Territorial Force and was commissioned Captain on 26th July 1915, and volunteered for overseas service.

I have found reference to those medical officers who drowned on the ship but nothing re Cockcroft. Presumably his Sea Gallantry Medal was for the sinking. Do you have a London Gazette date and then I will look again.

Nothing as yet but do you have a London Gazette date for the DSC which may narrow the entry down a bit.
