LAC William H. JAMES - 1195564; there are six listed in EngWal index, all are high ages except for age 36 in Newwark district, Notts. He is buried of course in Newark upon trent.

Cpl James K.N. MUNRO - 874674 - age 43, Northumberland South district.

Sgt Charles H. ROBERTS - 1554646, all the names in EngWals are too old compared to CWGC, I don;t seem to see him in Scotland either tho. Douglas might be able to find him better as he has credits in the system.

[Henk Welting]

Thanks Dave & Dennis for info on death registrations.
Regards,
Henk.

Apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong place but I can't find any reference on the Forum to a 1158526 LAC Albert Edward Bland who died on 24-5-1943 age 27 and is buried in Ling's Lynn. From his death certificate he died at 11 Littleport Terrace King's Lynn of Sarcoma of Lung, Primary focus Right Foot. I believe this is a form of lung cancer which can spread through the body and be manifest in the hands or feet.

Medically discharged by the look of it, the very hardest to find. Thanks

James Kinloch Ness Munro 874674 , attached to Number 15 Balloon Centre, died at RAF Long Benton of heart faliure due to the formation of a clot in a heart vessel

This Information was obtained from the purchase of a GRO death certificate by myself as there was no cause in his records, nor in the ORB for his unit or the station
