The In From The Cold Project (IFCP) was formed more than ten years ago to research and identify all service men and women missing from the official Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) list of casualties from the First and Second World Wars. Unfortunately, many names were missed from the lists supplied to the Commission and, as a result, many casualties have no official commemoration. They qualify for commemoration provided they died within the qualifying dates for the First World War - 4th August 1914 to 31st August 1921. The project aims to get these soldiers, sailors, airmen and nurses their due recognition – even after the passing of so many years. Deaths in service claims* have been made directly to CWGC for British West Indies Regiment Pte 4853 Octavious Garwood or Gaywood, Pte 4978 Claudius Whitelock, Pte 10660 Arthur Thomas, Pte 10685 Wilford or Wilfred Thompson and 12 servicemen of the West India Regiment stationed in Sierra Leone. [Please note that members of this community have been found whilst doing my research but may not actually have been submitted to the project. I hope to do that at a later date, but please feel free to make a submission using the information found.] *may have been accepted but response not received prior to closure of IWM project 18.03.2019
