I found he was not on CWGC, hence my interest in him. I found the records but wondered if you have anything else.
Am looking into him.

Rapp is not on SDGW because he died at Home in 1919.

I have no doubt that Isaac Rosenberg would qualify as war dead if it could have been proven that his death was linked to TB on discharge, a respiratory complaint or malaria.
Sadly, there is nothing remaining in his file to help us.

Hello Jim,

The information I have about Isaac comes from Service Records( there are 2) and death certificate. Do you have access to ancestry to view the records?

Have copied what I have about the family.
GROS 1923 Deaths 685/06 0708 Mother Sarah Geransky died 4 Dec 1923 at 8 Henry Street, Leith. Age 63. Parents: Jacob Geransky and Ethel Abraham Cause: Heart Disease Informant: ? Freeman, son in law
GROS 1924 Deaths 685/05 1306 Father: Solomon Rosenberg died 12 Dec 1924 at Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh. Age 70.Usual residence: 8 Henry Street, Leith. Parents: No names apart from Rosenberg. Informant was daughter, ? Foyle

Parents born Poland. Sister Janet born Germany, others born Edinburgh.

Known siblings: Janet(Mrs Weinberg died 1911) Annie, Lena(Mrs Freeman died 1967) Rosa, Ettie(Mrs Foyle died 1946)

1901 Census: 5 Parkside Street, Edinburgh. Isaac, age 16, was a tailor's presser

1911 Census: 5 Parkside Street, Edinburgh. Isaac, age 26, still a tailor's presser. Parents married 33 years, 13 children born alive, 7 still living.

Daughter Janet, husband and 4 children staying with parents 1901 and 1911 census returns.

Let me know if there is something specific.

Hello Jim,

I must have been typing up the info when you posted.

I don't know anything about evidence needed for CWGC.
However, Isaac's record evidences Silver Badge 25/02/1919 and the fact that he had malaria. His death cert. shows TB, only three months between discharge date and death. Would all that information combined not be taken into consideration?

I have access to his records. None of the family / Census info you give helps. What I need is a proven link between the cause of his death and his discharge from the army. They are two different ailments ie. Malaria and TB. Had the certifying doctor written " six months " after the cause of death it would have helped.

The DC is actually wrong. Having been discharged three months earlier he was no longer a Pte. R.F.A. but had his number been recorded that too would have helped.
Am checking further.

I can now confirm that I have put together a case for Isaac Rosenberg and this is being forwarded to MOD / CWGC for consideration. It has pased the initials checks, is now in the system and have no doubt that it will suceed. I am currently trying to locate his grave.

Thanks for highlighting his situation and drawing it to my attention.
Well done in finding him.

I have created a thread on the CWGC non-comms section for him.

If you want to send me an e-mail to the address from my signature I can update you in due course.

Hello,

A thought! Wondering if this memorial could be moved to the Edinburgh section instead of being in Queries and Requests?
