Brookwood Memorial

Had a look in the India DCs, but no trace. I have already discussed with IFCP & CWGC about India deaths where there is no known grave. At present they will remain on Brookwood.

 

2 casualty roll entries for this chap. First shows missing at sea 16/3/1944. Second shows presumed KIA at sea same date.

 

Appears to have died on the Dorsetshire
