Hello
Yes! One of my Sherwood Foresters had died of wounds in soldiers died. His death cert has died at 88th Field Hospital but he is on the Menin Gate. Although amongst my men in Essex Farm cemetery is 'An unknown private of the Notts & Derby Regiment' - this has to be him and hopefully the dossier I have submitted will prove it.
Men buried in shell holes etc were searched for after the war. Despite having map refs, their remains could not be found and they are on various memorials. I believe that it happened much more than we can imagine.
Regards
Steve

Have been transcribing and finding info for a local memorial and came across someone who died of wounds but is named on a memorial not in a cemetery

Is this normal, an error on sources etc.,

Can anyone shed a light on this
