Buried at Southern Cemetery U/1178 Consecrated. Looks like the family were living at 41 Crondall Street, Moss Side in 1911. His father appears to be L/Cpl Tom Wade 344 1/8 Manchester Regiment, but Fold3 is playing up at the moment so I can't view the pension card. If correct, Albert's date of birth was 27/12/1901.

The SER record appears to say "Isol[ation] H[ospital], Carnarvon".

tom wade was killed at gallipoli on 4th june 1915,his son pte 1900 ernest wade was serving with him in the 1/8th manchesters,tom was a french polisher at the national furnishing company on stretford rd.

would a DC have the info you need to be sure he was actually serving and hes the same albert wade,i dont have a clue what info these DCs hold,but it does look like him

if it is him and he was serving,then he would qualify,no matter what he died of

Thanks to Paul & Mack,
DCs show occupation and for discharged men often refer to Ex 10th Manchester Regiment etc. You can see transcripts on many of the Application posts.  I've had similar possible in-service case where the DC may say Private Manchester Regiment but IFCP have advised that corroborating evidence to show a man was still serving.  It would also need to be proven that a man was embodied if they were in the Territorials.
