Hi Gillian,

Could I ask what the CWGC is.   I may be being gormless but I am trying to help somebody else who also had a relative in the East Yorkshire regiment, he was awarded a military medal.  We are trying to pin down an address for him.

Thanks,

Elin

Elin,

CWGC stands for Commonwealth Wargraves Commission, it lists those killed in the two world wars.

Hi, it's me again

I am now looking for Albert H. Frost's brother;

Charles George Frost. I have his military record
RANK: Corporal.
SERVICE NUMBER: 12723.
UNIT/REGIMENT: 7th Bn east Yorkshire Regiment.
BORN: Sherburn in Elmet.
ENLISTED: York.
RESIDANCE: Leeds.
GAVE HIS LIFE: 29/10/1917.
AGED: 23.
CEMETERY: Mont Houn Military Cemetery Le Treport.
PANEL: VI. B. 1A.
LOCAL MEMORIAL: None.
I have two questions:
On ancestry's WW1 medal rolls index they give the following info: DCM LG 22 september 1916 B44-28

How can I find more details of this? What do these numbers stand for?
Also...while I'm here    Am I correct, in my amateur research, to say he died at Passchendaele?

Thanks a lot, Gillian
