I have been unable to find his service record - either burnt or lurking under a total mis-transcription. 2 days before armistice - poor lad. No wonder someone was named in his memory. Also, Malvina's birth, but in *Lambeth*, not Pancras Malvina Henriete J Menerrau Year of Registration:1886 Quarter of Registration:Oct-Nov-Dec District:Lambeth County:Greater London, London, Surrey Volume:1d Page:332 ---- I have corrected surname - original is clear.
