Research shows Lance Corporal Stokes is buried Old Cemetery, Hove. CWGC are in the process of producing a headstone to mark his grave. A relative has been found and the family would like to know more about the military service of their great grandfather.  Please can someone help with more details please.

Thank you very much Jim/Shaun. 

Unfortunately neither the family or myself have access to find my past which is a shame.
But I can pass the information re cause of death and he had previous service as a part-time gentleman soldier with the Honourable Artillery Company 1891-1896

Thank you very much, family will appreciate that information
