Hi All.

who died on the 1st August 1918 as a result of an accident whilst on duty.

Hello mum....

Is this a Weedon chap?

If memory serves me right, there were Remounts at Weedon Bks at this time....

Hello Sandy,

SDGW has him under James Thompson. (I assume you have seen the CWGC entry)
Born: Glasgow
Enlisted: Market Harborough
Resident: Abertillery, Monmouthshire
Died 01/08/18; Home

He moved around a bit by the looks of it.

He appears to be one of several casualties that enlisted at Market Harborough and according to Kent Fallen, there was a Remount Depot there. Page 11 of the link below.

Hello Son  and Phil   .

Thank you both for the assistance with the above man.

I will look at the link in awhile.

Much appreciated both of you.

That was interesting Phil.

I thought Raphael was a middle name rather than a Surname, weird.

Anyway here is his stone in M.H. Cemetery.
