James Aitchison died at the age of 40 at Cowdrait, Burnmouth, Ayton parish on 25th June 1919 of pulmonary tuberculosis. He appears in 4 memorials in the parish - and I've also identified the family headstone and a death notice.

However, I'm not finding anything in CWGC or SNWM. Any help appreciated with resolving this query.
Thanks, Kenny |

This one may be possible. I've obtained his service record. It's hard to make out the handwriting but it seems to mention TB and that it is attributable to his war service.
I can forward the service record on via email to any interested party who might wish to submit this as a case. |

It doesn't look like this was progressed as there is no entry on the CWGC database
Thanks
