Deceased online now covers Weaste Cemetery.  George White was buried in CofE Plot 568.L on 25/10/1919.

We know the Weaste plot number of a Type D Burial, rather than many unidentified common graves.  This indicates there was a headstone and we need to know if the inscription is still legible, or not.
EDIT
There is a Headstone on George's plot, but no inscription.  His Grandaughter will approve a secondary new Gallipoli style Headstone in due course.

George White's commemoration has been rejected. The orignal discharge papers in 1915 say TB started in 1913 and was not a result, or aggravated by service.  The Appeal Tribunal in 1918 said the TB was attrib or agg by service and George received a penison.
MoD JCCC only seem to address medical reports during service now.  Totally at variance with previous decisions but there is no method of reviewing their decision.
It took 4 years for this a nonsense adjudication to come through.
