Ernest Codd's burial has been accepted at Barnsley Cemetery. As CWGC does not say they're producing a new headstone, I suspect there must be a legible private memorial.

Hi Ginge

Sorry for the slow reply, thanks very much for your very detailed assistance.

In terms of 'The medal has 301 & 266 stamped on the top. This could be the company he served with in the Labor Corps. There is a capital B in the top right-hand corner' can you advise what you're referring to, is this a medal roll? I currently have only seen the 1914/15 star roll for Pte Smith.

And regarding 'I'd look at 301 and 266 Company Labour Corps' can you point me to where any of these resources are kept/available?

For the newspaper cutting as well, is this a Casualty column?

Thanks again I really appreciate it!
Tom
