Chums,

SDGW gives my man a grave, CWGC does not. I cannot verify if Alfred actually died but obviously some think he did. Would appreciate help finding his grave if it exists.

NB : I note that Gunner Turner was killed that same day and is listed as buried at Bully Grenay, perhaps SDGW have confused the two.

I don't understand the question.

SDGW does not give burial locations nor does it list an Alfred Traynor.

Ok Terry,

From somewhere I have SDGW information that is obviously incorrect or fictitious. Thanks

There is no Alfred Traynor listed in the GRO Army Overseas Death Index.

Thanks again Terry, I can cross that one off as dodgy then. I am nipping over to France next month so was compiling a "Cooks Tour " of my casualties, that particular one seemed odd.
