Hello Peter:
The URL below is for a write-up I did on Frederick Albert Prothers for the British Medal Forum. The only thing that I have not been able to find on the web for him is his date of birth, which perhaps you may be able to help me with.
Of course, it would be a 'coup' for me to find his other medal entitlements.

Many thanks,
Martin

Many thanks for your reply.
When I posted above I was going by the name as impressed on his Queen's Sudan Medal. Since then I have found out that his name was PROTHERO, and have acquired copies of his attestation papers and medal entitlement files.
The handwritten document for the medal appears to have an 's' at the end of the name, while the typewritten list shows it spelled correctly.
This is an error that was fairly common in those days, sad to say.
Again, thanks for offering your help.

Hello all:
My subject chap above was born in Ticehurst, Sussex in 1864, and save for 4 years in HM's service spent his entire life there.
I would very much like to locate his gravesite and to pay someone to send me a photo or 2 of it....if that is possible.
Thanks for any help.

Glamorganshire / Morgan John Thomas
« on: Saturday 21 May 05 18:42 BST (UK) »
Hello to one & all:
My name is Martin Wagner & I reside in the United States. I collect British Commonwealth medals and am in the midst of researching the above named subject.
Morgan John Thomas was born on December 9, 1873 in Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales. He enlisted in the Royal Marine Light Infantry on June 9, 1892 and was discharged on June 11, 1913.
The next day, June 12, 1913, he enrolled in the Royal Fleet Reserve and was serving on HMS Diana when he died on April 9, 1915.
He is buried in the Ford Park Cemetery (formerly Plymouth Old Cemetery)
Neither his military records nor his death certificate show his actual cause of death, except to say that he 'died in service'.
I would dearly like to find out his actual cause of death and am submitting this to the forum in the hope that there may be an extant obituary that some kind forum member could look up for me.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this.
