The commission (CWGC) was not informed by authorities at the time of their deaths therefore they were not commemorated as war dead.

Looking at a couple of the names it seems these men were discharged due to injury/sickness & died some time after while in the UK so have known graves but no military headstone.
Good to see it's being put right. There must be many others.
