Terry Denham Posted 12 May , 2008 Share Posted 12 May , 2008 CWGC added the following 'new' WW1 casualties to its Debt of Honour database today – Monday 12th May. Pte Thomas ADAMS 60121 15 Bn, Royal Welsh Fusiliers Died 27.07.17 Age 37 Commemoration: Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial, Belgium L/Cpl Horace Vivian TREMLETT P/1537 Military Police Corps Died between 01.03.17 and 31.03.17 Age 34 Commemoration: Brookwood (United Kingdom 1914-1918) Memorial, Surrey, UK NOT FORGOTTEN Thomas ADAMS is a very significant case! He was put forward by GWF on 23.04.08. His significance lies in the fact that he was the very first case to be submitted by the Forum’s ‘In From The Cold Project’. We hope his acceptance will be the first of many as a result of IFCP and I would like to thank all the volunteers for their patience and dedication. Your efforts are now paying off and all the hard work is proving worthwhile at last. Pte ADAMS was actually discovered in a batch researched by GWF member, apwright. L/Cpl TREMLETT’s case did not go through GWF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Hartley Posted 12 May , 2008 Share Posted 12 May , 2008 Good to see the first officially "in". IFCP is not a exclusive club. If members want to help out, please get in touch with me. You'll be very welcome. The more volunteers we have, the quicker we find the men and get them their commemoration. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will O'Brien Posted 12 May , 2008 Share Posted 12 May , 2008 Raising a glass to the memory of Thomas & Horace tonight. It's good to see the labours of the IFCP starting to produce results. Also interested to see the lack of an absolute date of death for Horace. As he is commemorated at Brookwood, I assume he died in the UK. It's a bit of a puzzle that a UK death has such a range for the DOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 12 May , 2008 Author Share Posted 12 May , 2008 Will He possibly went 'missing' and then was found dead - no specific date known. Or... As he died in the UK (and there is no way of telling from the CWGC data if he was still in service or died after discharge), he could have died at home and not been found for some time (It still happens today!).

Terry Denham Posted 14 May , 2008 Author Share Posted 14 May , 2008 I assume the addition of his middle name? I would think so. If you send me a scan of the pension doc which includes the full name, I'll progress it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny Posted 19 August , 2010 Share Posted 19 August , 2010 Have only just found this site but have been researching about my Great Grandfather Thomas Adams 60121 RWF for a few years now and its great to see he is finally going to be remembered, I would like to thank those who have helped me along this journey. I have a question though and hope somebody can answer? Thomas's name is on an Addenda Panel at the Ypres (menin gate) memorial, does anybody know how long it can take before a soldiers name is added?? I wish to take my mother to visit the memorial and see her Grandfathers name on the memorial. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KevinEndon Posted 20 August , 2010 Share Posted 20 August , 2010 Maybe an email to the CWGC could tell you more, this is the usual blog when someone if brought in from the cold This casualty has recently been accepted for commemoration by the Commission. However, it will not be possible to add his name to this Memorial immediately. Please contact the Commission before planning a visit, for more information.
