This lad is mentioned on the Eastbourne Central Military Hospital memorial as dying on 4th Dec 1918 - I ordered the only matching DC from Eaastbourne district that matched for that quarter & I have a problem - the DC is for a John Thomas however there is no mention of him being a soldier & indeed there is no Manchester connection at all - CWGC has no one that matches that details - please can anyone shed any light

He could have been discharged before death and died as a civilian - hence no military details.

Who are the names on the memorial? Are they patients, staff etc?

all the others on the memorial are serving soldiers with one exception (a VAD nurse) & the memorial states that they died at the hospital

However the DC shows that he died at Tideswell Road Eastbourne

So I think Im going to have to get my thinking cap on
