I am delighted that Theodore Gracie has been accepted by CWGC. It makes all the searching worth while and one more "in from the cold.
Thanks to everyone for their help.

I checked the Monument last night and the name of Theodore B. Gracie has now been added.
Another brave man recognised and remembered.

I understand CWGC are to erect a war grave headstone and this is on order along with a number of others for use in Scotland. Granite stones tend to be produced quicker than Portland which may help reduce the waiting period.
Hopefully it may be in place before the end of the year. Of course, Theodore has waited 93 years already.
