King, Charles Sealy Lt Royal Munster Fusiliers

[ian turner]

I started to browse through the RMF casualties for 9/5/15 whilst working on the

Classic Thread topic about the Last Absolution of the Munsters.

One of the first names I looked at was Lt King, and whilst his details are on SDGW and appear in the MICs, I could not find him on CWGC.

Maybe eluding me under a transcription error, but wonder if any pals can enlighten?

I could'nt find him either.

He is listed in the Index To War Deaths 1914-1921 (Army Officers) in Register 1915 - Volume O.3, Page 121.

No luck either on CWGC so its a bit of a puzzle. I was however able to find an obituary.

Steve,

Great - I knew it would be a simple explanation, just could not get the brain in gear to work out the permutations.

Appreciated.
