Title: Kew, George Robert

Description: Kew's mother was apparently seeking information from the Red Cross in the hope that he had survived. The details on the card show that he was in B company, and also that he was "19 years old" and was missing since 24 April 1918. The Red Cross could only reply "negatif envoyee" ie they had no information, on 14 September 1918.
