Obiturary for Joseph Samuel Oridge

[oakhambred]

Joseph Samuel Orridge, 1915 Leicestershire, died 1943 Thailand.  I have all the info where he is buried and his war details, although nothing about how he died, (he was a prisoner of war)but cannot find any obituraries about him on ancestry.  Any help please

Thanks Jjen,

I thought beriberi was a place (stupid). Just realised as it was written on card.

Thanks

Yes Clare,

That's where I saw his record and just realised beriberi was a disease and not a place.  😁😳

Thanks
