1. Re: [WW1] WW I German East Africa [1]
No 1 Army Hospital Wynberg is in Cape Town, so he was repatriated to the Union of South Africa (as it then was). AFAIK it is still an Army Hospital, part of Wynberg Camp.

Claire - interesting comments. - But I hope that Pat (or anybody else) didn't think that they were being told that they had committed some heinous crime by merely mentioning a topic - and I suppose that at this time of year such subjects are inevitably going to surface. With regards to an alternate "discussion forum" - I cant keep up with things as it is ! - there are so many things to keep track of that it's a wonder that anything ever gets done. - And - some of the forums out there just seem to be an exc

6. Re: [WW1] Civil registration of death [1]
Chris If a death appears in one of the miscellaneous index books, then it will not appear in the general run. Like the main run, it will only give you the reference needed for ordering the death certificate, and offers no information in its own right. The death certificate will, in all probability, give you much less information than a 'normal' death certificate would, and is not likely to give you an actual cause of death, or exact place of death - it may not add a great deal to what you already know.

Hello Claire, I have only been on this list for a few months & was unaware that the SAD *argument* (for want of another word) wasn't to be discussed. So, for that, I apologise. However - I think that no matter which side of the argument we come down on, it's a part of our history that should never be forgotten. Tom is absolutely right when he says it's an emotive subject - whatever the outcome in the *To pardon or not to pardon* campaign, it isn't going to please everybody. Pat.xxx :o)) in Kent, UK Your

14. Re: [WW1] Look up Please [1]
Thank you Peter for the info. This man is listed on the Watlington (Norfolk) War Memorial as Charles Gathergood. I found that he actually died of wounds in a hospital in Oswestry, Salop (thanks to 1837online.com). He was originally registered as Charles Drew but in June 1917 the register was amended by statutory declaration. The CWGC has him listed on Bay 3 of the Arras Memorial, however there is a Charles William Drew also Royal Fusilliers who died on 13th April 1917 also listed on Bay 3 of the Arras

17. [WW1] On field deaths: questions [1]
My half uncle (Lieutenant in KRRC) was killed 12 Oct 1914 at River Selle. His body was never identified. I have a number of questions that I am hoping someone can answer: 1) Would a combat officer have dressed significantly differently than a private in 1918? I'm familiar with stories that suggest that they learned not to because it made them easier targets for German snipers. 2) How were battlefield casualties collected? Were they collected, identified and buried in temporary graves by their own units?

I have seen numerous pictures of helmets- some with brown leather chin straps, others with green canvas-like ones. Any ideas what the chin strap and interior lining of a WW1 helmet looked like?

21. RE: [WW1] LISTOWNER Our Community list (cross posting) [1]
Claire, How many names do you envisage any one person adding to the list of those being researched? I am researching the men of my town (and surrounding villages) who served in the Great War and so far I have over a thousand names. In addition to that I am researching the individuals of a battalion, again with over a thousand names so far. Should I prioritise, or is that not what you have in mind for the list? -----Original Message----- From: Claire Baldwin [mailto:rklair@talk21.com] Sent: 19 November 2
