Cpl 43091 Joseph Welch

[AdamT]

I found the grave of Joseph in a local church yard at Adderbury. I have done an Ancestry search but have only found an MIC.

Does anyone know any more about him please?

Thank you.

His Medal index card say's he was with the 16th Battalion.

He's not listed on the SDGW?

He's not listed on the SDGW?

He died in England (death registered Banbury) and after the war ended - would that make a difference?

[AdamT]

I thought that was the case? However he has a CWGC headstone.

Thanks to all.

IIRC the cut off date for the great war was 1921, It was recognised that soldiers were still dying for their country after the armistice

I also meant to say,

As well as not being listed on the SDGW he is not on the roll of honour for the 16th Bn either.
Just another one that fell through the net?
