Thanks Ady

I have that thanks to David pointing out he was recorded as Cramwell.

I'm always touched when I find these records, 22 seems so young to die.

I appreciate your interest.

Thank you for your very helpful reply, I wasn't aware the SDGW data base had errors in it and I will bear this in mind for the future.

SDGW isn't the problem it's Ancestry, any reference to  Antwerp or Aldershot should be queried
