The WFA Pensions Records have him as No. 30572.  Dependant's pension of 5/- payable to his mother Catherine at No. 29 Sweden St, Waterloo.

I believe the rosette indicates that the recipient was Mentioned in Despatches.  You can check that in the Gazette.

Haslar was the Royal Navy's own hospital - from Napoleonic times, or even earlier - and is located in Portsmouth Harbour.

Closed only recently, I believe.

Just received the Death Cert - it does not state that his illness was due to his military service, so he is correctly not recorded by the CWGC (although he is on our war memorial....).

A munitions worker, death was due to acute pneumonia; he died at 10 New King St, Dudley and his widow, Mrs E J Philpot, was in attendance.

Sunbeam in Wolverhampton made aero engines, which may be relevant.

Shaun: I have cuttings from the Dudley Herald of 17.11 and 1.12.17, and 8.6.18 re 2nd Lt Edwards.  If you have any others, I'd love to scrounge them from you!

Will do.

Another "mystery" is his address on discharge of 55 Freeman St, Coventry.  That address also appears on the records of 2nd Lt John Wesley Edwards, MC - I wonder why?

Thanks for all your help.

I've ordered a copy of his Death Certificate - if it seems his death was as a result of his war service, I'll submit him to the CWGC.
