Fedelmar Posted 19 March , 2007 Share Posted 19 March , 2007 Last year I petitioned the Office of Australian War Graves for recognition of Sister Nellie Saw who died of TB. I am pleased to advise that I received a letter from them confirming that recognition and Nellie Saw is now listed on the CWGC database. Nellie is buried in the Memorial Park Cemetery Albany W. Aust. I have a couple of other applications pending for the same cemetery along with a few others in Fremantle Cemetery. Bright Blessings Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frev Posted 19 March , 2007 Share Posted 19 March , 2007 Sandra - Congrats again (2nd time today) I wondered whether you were behind this when Nellie Saw's recognition was brought to my attention recently. One small concern - what is her actual day of death? Memorial says 31st - CWGC say 17th. Cheers, Frev PS email on it's way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 19 March , 2007 Share Posted 19 March , 2007 I have queried the date difference with CWGC but perhaps Sandra already has the answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedelmar Posted 19 March , 2007 Author Share Posted 19 March , 2007 Hello Frev ... thank you ... Yes .. that is the right DOD ... not sure about the entry on where the 19th came from. I guess I need to contact them for a correction. I already have two corrections to CWGC sitting from January that have not been replied too so not sure how this one will go. I sent the pics to the person you passed my contact details on to ... thanks He queried the date as well so I sent him the transcripts from the newspaper but as yet haven't gone to the BMD's to see if it has been indexed yet. Bright Blessings Sandra PS: Terry ... I haven't contacted them and no no more than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Denham Posted 27 March , 2007 Share Posted 27 March , 2007 The wrong date was supplied by AWG. Probably just a simple transcription error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
