S.O.Osborne New Zealand Canterbury Regiment :East Ham St Mary Magdalene churchyard I would appreciate if anyone can add information thank you The headstone is in East Ham St Mary Magdalene churchyard London The churchyard has been given over as a nature reserve and CWGC no longer maintain the original burial plots. The casualty below Private S.O.Osborne New Zealand Canterbury Regiment Service number 26902? date of death looks like 1943? The headstones are also used for Australian/New Zealand post war for service in either war.
oh thank you Guy I was in the churchyard today and saw his headstone assumed he had served in either WW1/WW2 or both
Looks like it might be OSBORNE, Sion Charles - WW1 26902 - Army >> 1914 1918 New Zealand Defence Force, Personnel Archives O Wgtn Help needed to identify TD Edited to add Sorry Guy you were there before me
Just to catch up Sion Charles Osborne Sion Charles Osborne | Discovering Anzacs | National Archives of Australia and Archives NZ - (not much on this one I'm afraid) - although the form on the right hand side states died since discharge - which seems a little odd ??) TD edited to add see red above
