He should be listed on SNWM, particularly as he served in a Scottish Regiment but he's not there. He is on SDGW though. |

Something weird here, if you search for Dunn with date of death 25/10/1915 you don't find him! |

I'm not convinced that the SNWM date search works at all.
The month search finds him and one other for 10/1915. Neither of them show up with the respective date searches.

I agree, I don't think it has worked for some time.
Thanks
