I am checking through the details of this Edwin Neve having obtained his death certificate. He died on 3rd August 1920 from Valvular Herat Disease at the home of his father, William Neve, 42 Queens Road, Prescot.  His MIC contains nothign beyond the roll reference for his VM & BWM.

He is commemorated on the Rood Screens inside Prescot Parish Church and was buried in the churchyard at Prescot. As part of my research into the men of Prescot who fell in the Great War, I am trying to determine the reason for his discharge from the army as Edwin is not commemorated by CWGC.

If anybody can add anything at all to the details I have on Edwin's service, and specifically anyhting on the reason for discharge, I would be really pleased to hear from them.

When he joined up in May 1916, he lived at Pear Tree Road, Derby.
