Could someone check SDGW for me as I am having a brain freeze moment with CWGC.

PTE ALFRED.C.COALTON

No. 203759

13th Battalion Gloucestershire Regiment

He has a MIC but cannot retrieve at mo. He is listed on the Gloucestershire Regiment website and he is inscribed on the Tyne Cot Memorial.

Tried different variations of his name on CWGC but cannot find him.

Cheers,

Simon.

Sorry.My computer played up and I had to shut it down and restart.

SDGW= Coalton. KIA. Enlisted Bristol.

MIC = Coalton. PM me if you need it.

1901 Census = Coalton (with parents as per the CWGC entry and another Bristol address)


If you drop Terry Denham a PM he'll submitt it for correction if it's a typo/scanning error.
