Pte Burke enlisted on 28/1/1914.  He embodied with 7th Bttn on 5/8/1914. He embarked for Egypt on 10/9/1914 and returned Home on 8/2/1915.
Discharge dates are inconsistent & no SWB is evident. The Service Record indicates 17/3/1915 and the Pension Card states 31/3/1919. It's possible Vincent was called up for mandatory service in 1916, which could explain the renumbering in 1917. He was treated for NYD and Fever Abscess No 34 Casualty Clearing Station on 28/12/1917.  He received a Pension after 1919 discharge, for TB of R Lung and General Debility.  There is no confirmation this was attributable, aggravated or commencing in service.
Vincent died from TB on 6/11/1920.
Mother Ellen, 54 Portsmouth St, Chorlton on Medlock. Pension Awarded. Medals returned.

Vincent enlisted on 28/1/1914 and Embodied in 7th Bttn on 5/8/1914.  He joined the MEF in Egypt with 1/7th Bttn  on 25/9/1914 and returned Home on 8/3/1915.
The Service Record & Star Roll says he was initially discharged Para 392 XVI on 17/3/1915, reason not specified and I can't see a SWB. The Pension Card says he was discharged with a Pension on 31/3/1919, with Tubercular R Lung and General Debility.  Vincent died from TB on 6/11/1920.
Vincent's mother Ellen received a Dependent's Pension.  She was an Army Wife, with Vincent being born in India in 1888. Her husband had died in 1899, having served from age 14 and being Bandmaster in the KLR in 1891. She lived at 54 Portsmouth St, C on M in 1920.
None of the records state that the TB was attributable to Service, although this may have been the case.
