Apologies if this one has already been looked at.
John Black served with 1/5 KOSB and I believe was discharged in Nov 1915 as medically unfit. I cannot find any service records on Ancestry so have no idea what his medical condition was.
I have a newspaper article recording his death on 19 Jan 1920 and his burial. I have his death cert which makes no mention of military service but records Phthisis 4 years and Haemorrhage 20 days. As he died just over 4 years from his believed date of discharge, I think this could be his cause of discharge, but I just cannot prove it.
He is buried in Troqueer Burial Ground and I have photographed his gravestone which is on SWGP.
He is not listed on CWGC or SNWM.

I thought I recognised him. I just posted it here to make sure Jim had spotted it and looked to see if anything could be done. I'm not too hopeful I must admit.

I have done nothing with this and have no other info than is on the two threads.
Is it worth submitting to Terry for an opinion?
Without a service record, I'm not sure that there is anything else we can look for, is there?

Looks like a "no further action" to me. _________________ Ken |

Pension Card exists which state cause of discharge was tubercole of lung and it was due to war service.
Who needs a copy in order to submit this one? |

Terry got back to me to say that this man had already been submitted in Feb 2020 by another Paul (not me). |
