This tread is a general list of names on war memorials.

As far as being potential CWGC non comms is concerned in both cases nothing can happen without the help of their immediate NOK in sourcing their service records. There is a cost.
They would confirm the reason and date of discharge. If a medical condition, it might be totally unrelated to the cause of their deaths. WW2 non comms are rare, but they can happen.
