Many Thanks Malcolm! I tried to register on this site today but kept getting blocked for no reason I can understand. And the site said to contact the webmaster but i couldnt find one. So this helps. But still no place or cause of death. At least it doesnt seem he died in battle, from this information. If he died in training maybe the system didnt want it known. But I wish I could learn why. He was a trained machinist and he achieved the rank of Corporal fast.
