Alfred Henry Furlonger - Company Sergeant Major, died 1918 in Flanders
« on: Monday 19 October 20 15:28 BST (UK) »
I am seeking more information about Alfred Henry Furlonger born 10 Jun 1880 in Clapham Surrey.

He died in Flanders 30 Apr 1918 and was then a Company Sergeant Major, operating division R. E.
I do not have his regimental number or when he enlisted in the army.
I have a few details from his soldiers will - To Mary Jane Furlonger (wife of Alfred Henry Furlonger). but not their marriage.

Hoping a few Rootschatters can fill in a few missing details for me.

Opening post says Alfred Henry was born 10.6.1880 - that marriage was 1885??

There is a birth in 1886 but it was in Dec qtr Kingston so does not match a June birth
