Hi Joan As Jean says, those who died as a result of injuries or illness caused by service in the Great War are eligible for an entry on the CWGC site, up to a certain date. I forget the precise end date for inclusion on the CWGC site, but it was about 2 years after the end of both World Wars. Many army personnel suffering from the effects of gas and trench foot etc., my grand father included, died shortly after the end of the war, and similary, many matelots who served in RN Divisions which fought in the trenches on the Western Front ; there is also evidence to suggest that some of those who served on board ship died later from the effects of TB contracted during the War. Even during my time in the service, post WWII, there was still a worry with TB, and we were all subject to the usual annual checks. A check of the Death Certificate might give a clue to those who know about these things !

Husband of my g/aunt Frances Gertrude (McGregor) Funnell. My question: If he did not die serving during WW 1, why is he mentioned on CWGC site? I have not been able to find him on St.Cath's House Index. > >Regards, Joan. Sydney. Aust. 50.33.50N 02.26.70W http://www.pbenyon.plus.com/Naval.html
