the CWGC cannot do anything about pte porters headstone,hes not commemorated by them,they can only intervine when his details have been sent to them and passed for eligibility,his pension record[on ancestry] and death cert are needed,if he qualifies,then they will either erect a CWGC headstone or add his name to the screen wall within the cemetery

there seems to be a mix up with the cause of death,pte 15260 william porter didnt die of wounds,he died of phthisis,the same illness that killed his father at the same age,he enlisted on 1-9-1914,17th kings liverpool regt,aged 26,occupation cotton salesman,resided 2 eastfield drive,aigburth,liverpool,his mother mary,ellen remarried and became mrs mary,ellen moffitt,she later moved to "taunton",the park,hampstead,london.
williams illness wasnt caused by any kind of active service,but the doctors said it was aggravated by active service,he was that ill,they couldnt even weigh him to see how much weight he,d lost.aggravated by active service qualifies him for CWGC status
the question of residency in his burial details could be the sanatorium he was a patient in?

World War One / Re: How quickly were a family informed of a death in the First World War
« on: Sunday 04 November 12 08:07 GMT (UK) »
there was no time limit on reporting a death,if the soldier was killed and it was confirmed by the war office,they then inform the NofK straight away via their regimental records office,in the case of a man dying in hospital,its usually within 24hrs,if no info can be found on missing men after all enquiries have been exhausted,then they usually assume he died on or since the date they last saw him.
