chrisharley9 Posted 13 November , 2007 Share Posted 13 November , 2007 Times 24 Jan 1918 found this whilst trying out an exercise on trying to find non coms - by using the Times Digital Search Engine & just using the phrase "News In Brief" I have about 10 non coms - that is only the trial - I have only looked at a bit of 1914 & 1918 - food for thought Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morcombe Posted 15 November , 2007 Share Posted 15 November , 2007 Just heard from a pal o'mine:- have just had a letter from CWGC saying that the MoD has approved the commemoration of 27548 Sgt John Steinberg RAF. He died on 4 June 1918, his death certificate saying that the cause of death was 'shock to system consequent on severe injuries (external) sustained in an airplane accident'. It took two years for the MoD to consider the case. No doubt Terry will announce his commemoration in due course. We've got the RAF, now for the R.N. landslide...

corisande Posted 7 July , 2010 Share Posted 7 July , 2010 Not sure whether it matters but Capt Alfred Pelli WHITE DSO Surrey Yeomanry (Queen Mary’s Regt) Died 12.10.20 Commemoration: Brookwood (United Kingdom 1914-1918) Memorial, Surrey, UK I have been researching him in connection with the raid on the Carolan House in Dublin in which he was killed His second name was PELLY not PELLI (on his birth registration and on his commission) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisharley9 Posted 7 July , 2010 Share Posted 7 July , 2010 Corisande If you let me have the documentary proof to that effect I will get it changed Do you have anything else on him that may help me track down his grave Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corisande Posted 8 July , 2010 Share Posted 8 July , 2010 Chris Re Alfred Pelly White http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/302...s/7612/page.pdf is his commission. He is on the top left of the page, third man down His birth is Jul/Sep 1896. White Alfred Pelly registered at Lambeth 1d 530 relevant cut from page below (if you want the whole reg page, PM me and I will email it (or you can get it from FreeBMD And his name is in full in 1911 census I have only just started, so I have little else on him (cannot find a MIC even). I have the 1901 census and 1911 census, my info to date on him is here - he is proving a difficult man to track. Similarly if you can add anything for me I would be grateful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corisande Posted 8 July , 2010 Share Posted 8 July , 2010 Chris I started another thread on "Capt White" killed in raid 12 Oct 1920 http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/i...p;#entry1437796 It is looking as if it was "Alfred Philip White" not "Alfred Pelli/Pelly White" who was killed. It will take a lot more work to substantiate it. Press reports at the time never appear to get closer than "Capt A P White" of "Surreys". But "Pelli WHite" does not appear to have died then. I will carry on digging, but at the moment my money is on "Philip" You will see on the MIC on that thread, that "Philip" has on MIC died of wounds on 12 Oct 1920 in Ireland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisharley9 Posted 8 July , 2010 Share Posted 8 July , 2010 Corisande I will be informing the relevant authorities about this one Have just checked the cemetery records at Twickenham; no trace there Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corisande Posted 8 July , 2010 Share Posted 8 July , 2010 Chris Alfred Phillip White has Registration in Dublin North Oct - Dec 1920 Age (at Death): 40 Vol 2 Page 309 in the irish state records So it is definitely "Philip/Phillip" who died not "Pelli/Pelly" Mind you Philip/Phillip is no easier to tie down I will dig away on the other thread I linked to.

corisande Posted 19 August , 2010 Share Posted 19 August , 2010 I have been away for a while, and was tidying up my notes on Capt A P White. I am still convinced that the man who died was Alfred Phillip White and not Alfred Pelli White 1. His death registration in Ireland is Alfred Phillip (sic) White 2. In the pension records you posted the link to, I could see no Alfred Pelli White, but there is mention of Alfred Philip White 3. His medal card has Alfred Philip White Granted he did not use the "P" much, but he never appears to have used "Pelli" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisharley9 Posted 20 August , 2010 Share Posted 20 August , 2010 the changes are all in hand with CWGC at the moment having received a copy of his service file. Everything on file confirms Alfred Phillip White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
