A place for PoW database amendments and additions

[charlie]

Is anything further known regarding 2465 James Tupman? He has an old entry prior to 2009 in our database, all we have is his number, rank and name and 2nd Bn. He has no entry in the ICRC database.

Any ideas please which John Turner this is. He is just listed by the ICRC as L/Cpl John Turner, 2/6th Bn. There is a 202531 John Turner 2/5th Bn listed as well. Could they be one and the same? The trouble is there are another possible ten John Turners in the MiCs.

There is contradictory information regarding two Fred Whiteheads - 51078 and 276771 - in the CWGC and ICRC records.

51078 is listed as having died on the 24.03.1918 by the CWGC and just as missing on the 21.03.1918 by the ICRC. There are no further entries for him in the ICRC database.

276771 is listed as having died on 21.03.1918 by the CWGC and having died on 24.03.1918 at a German Aid Post in Jeancourt by the ICRC. He is also listed as JW Whitehead by the ICRC.

51078 is in our database as being taken PoW on 21.03.1918, is there any evidence to support this?

It seems to me that on the basis of the ICRC records the CWGC has got in a muddle their dates of death.
