Title: In From the Cold Project

Description: The In From the Cold Project (IFCP) was formed 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, in order to get these soldiers, sailors and airmen their due recognition. This person was one of the cases submitted by IFCP, and was accepted by CWGC to be added to their WW1 War Dead Roll on 8th February 2012. Initially commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial, CWGC subsequently announced that he is now confirmed as being buried in Brockmoor (St. John) Churchyard. Further information can be found by searching the Casualties In From The Cold list on the IFCP web site.
