I am going to try to verify death information by asking for help with a visual check of his tombstone. Perhaps I have the dates wrong. I have also thought that perhaps he enlisted under a different name (proper baptised vs common?). I think I have to make a trip to the National Archives and look through records myself. I have been frustrated by the mail research service there (brief, uninformative information) but maybe it's just me. There is no substitute for doing it yourself. Mandy
