another possible spelling could be

SAUNDERSON

[shearg]

If the Albert Ernest Sanderson Private # 63060 of the Notts& Derby Reg. is the right man then he may of been seriously(SWB) injured but maybe didn't die

SAUNDERSON  doen't work either

if he was awarded a SWB, he wasn't killed..so was did he die in the war?

[shearg]

we could never find his death on CWGC, some A. and some A.E. but without the extra info couldn't say 100% if it was him. Plus we searched for a few years after the war on the GRO site but couldn't finsd a death there either.

Can a search be done using his #63060
