Am checking further?
Have you obtained his death certificate to see what the cause of death was? You need to prove a link if his was a medical discharge.

Anne

I can forward this to MOD / CWGC on your behalf, if you wish. I expect he is buried at Cullen and am seeking lair details.

Can a MOD move this to CWGC Non Comms under the title
