Death Cert PDF arrived in two days
He is listed as Lance Corporal 6055 RAMC (Regular, Pensioner)
It confirms Bernard's death was due to TB and Terry Denham has put the case into the system

Yep, Anne. 7 June 1919.
It looks as though his mum and dad died in West Derby in the 1920's so the Oakdale Road address may well have been the family home at that period. _________________ Ken |
