Trafalgar Boswell enlisted and embodied in 8th Bn at Ardwick Barracks on 04/11/1915.  He was discharged unfit on 18/02/1916 due to Parepenal?? Tachycardia.  There is no statement on causation.
Trafalgar died from pulmonary TB on 07/04/1918, aged 26.  The WFA card states the condition was aggravated by active service.  This is not supported by the pension record so commemoration would probably not be accepted. (Checking with IFCP).
The husband of Amelia Boswell (later remarried as Sherriff) of 76 Ether Street, Higher Openshaw. Two children.
