Regiment/Service: Highland Light Infantry
Unit Text: 17th Bn.
Date of Death: 26/06/1917

David Enzor Joseph Francis Cundey Robertson born 11th Feb 1887 at Broombrae, Cluny. His father was a gamekeeper.
I imagine his mother Sarah Ann Cundey is linked to Joseph Cundey below.
Name: CUNDEY, JOSEPH
Initials: J
Nationality: United Kingdom
Rank: Private
Regiment/Service: Gordon Highlanders
Unit Text: 1st/7th Bn.
Age: 30
Date of Death: 06/12/1917
Service No: 201946
Additional information: Son of Francis and Isabella Cundey, of Plyfold Cottage, Cluny, Tillyfourie, Aberdeen.
Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: B. 9A.
Cemetery: BOIS GUILLAUME COMMUNAL CEMETERY EXTENSION
Derek, this is not at all unusual.
For some reason, possibly due to the family moving to work in a new district / area the Final Verification Form for George went astray or was not returned to I.W.G.C. _________________ Jim

That is a superb name - I wonder how many generations those names spanned before coming to a premature end in Flanders? _________________
