I have been trying for some days to access this database in the hope of finding out if a relative, one Albert William Lippett or Lippitt from Birmingham UK died in this war as is reputed in the family. He is said to have died of enteric fever. He was a tailor and it is not known if he served in the forces or was a civilian. Unfortunately the database seems not to be accessible. Could SKS advise or help please. Bob Rudd in Sunny NSW Australia.

Hello Bob, The only man of either name in the casualty list is Pte. H. Lippett of the Shropshire Light Infantry who was killed in a railway accident. He would seem not to be your man. Some civilians in military employment are included in the casualty list but I'm sure others are not. It's difficult to offer any other advice as you would need to know the unit he was attached to before being able to make further enquiries, for example via the medal rolls.
