Terry Denham Posted 27 September , 2006 Share Posted 27 September , 2006 CWGC added the following 'new' WW1 casualties to their database today - Wednesday 27th September Pte Victor Norman CLARKE 27276 Worcestershire Regt Died 22.09.18 Age 23 Buried: Edgioake Cemetery, Worcs, UK Capt Charles Herbert LLEWELLIN OBE DCM Royal Engineers Died 26.11.20 Age 42 Buried: Handsworth (St Mary) Churchyard, Warwicks, UK NOT FORGOTTEN The first of these two is the result of research and legwork by Forum member, Geoff501, who can fill in the details. I put forward this case on behalf of Geoff on 12.07.06 and he has another in the pipeline in the same cemetery. Pte Clarke is in an unmarked grave but CWGC are seeking permission to erect an official headstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevem49 Posted 2 August , 2008 Share Posted 2 August , 2008 May they rest in peace It looks like MOD Army are not taking that long to process cases Chris Not sure about that Chris - I put one in well over two years ago! Although it was to prove an 'unknown Sherwood Foresters' grave was actually a man who die dof wounds. Rest easy Chaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
