Museumtom,

Very many thanks for such a prompt reply

Can I take it that SDGW adds nothing further to what we know regarding the circumstances of his death?

Accidental death? DoW? Whatever? ?

Thanks again

Michael D.R.

It says Killed in action, usually when it does not list his residence .it is the same as his birth location.
