Guest Hill 60 Posted 3 October , 2004 Share Posted 3 October , 2004 Having a look at SDGW (and cross-checking with CWGC) I have found 3 other MP's who died on today's date in 1918 (as apposed to 1917 for Sgt Golding on SDGW). All were Sergeants, the first two were KIA and the third DOW. 672 James Lee Born: Macclesfield Enlisted: Curragh Residence: Weymouth Formerly: 10214, Lancers of the Line. CWGC: Name: LEE, JAMES Initials: J Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Serjeant Regiment: Military Police Corps Age: 37 Date of Death: 03/10/1918 Service No: 672 Additional information: Son of James and Mary Lee, of Macclesfield, England; husband of Winifred Lee, of 2823, South Sydenham St., Philadelphia, U.S.A. Served in the South African Campaign with 16th Lancers. Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: A. 21. Cemetery: LA BARAQUE BRITISH CEMETERY Second casualty: P/691 William Lee Born, Enlisted & Lived: Nottingham CWGC: Name: LEE Initials: W Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Serjeant Regiment: Military Police Corps Unit Text: Military Mounted Police Date of Death: 03/10/1918 Service No: P/691 Awards: MSM Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: B. 22. Cemetery: LA BARAQUE BRITISH CEMETERY Third casualty: P/1192 Albert John Eddenden Born: Bangalore, India Enlisted: Stratford Residence: London CWGC: Name: EDDENDEN, ALBERT JOHN Initials: A J Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Serjeant Regiment: Military Police Corps Unit Text: Military Foot Police Age: 37 Date of Death: 03/10/1918 Service No: P/1192 Additional information: Son of Edward and Sarah Ann Eddenden, of 24, Moorlands Rd., Camberley. Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: V. E. 31. Cemetery: LONGUENESSE (ST. OMER) SOUVENIR CEMETERY Were James and William Lee related? (Could they be related to me as part of my family are called Lee....and no I wasn't named after them). Their numbers aren't that far apart. James and William are buried in adjoining graves, and both were (on SDGW at least) listed as killed in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
