This one has been knocked back on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence to show that the casualty was discharged as a result of tuberculosis (only malaria listed on the discharge documents), which was the ultimate cause of death.
The pension card gave both malaria and TB as the causes of discharge, both attributable to service but the service papers only mention TB. |
