If he was Merchant Navy, then he wouldn't qualify for CWGC commemoration unless his death was caused directly by enemy action.

You may well have something here Baggygenes. I have him dying on 26/2/1940 and of course I have David Malcolm Scrimgeour, but that is close. My problem at the moment is I am still on holiday and am travelling in a motorhome relying on a dongle which works only occasionally.

it is an awfully big coinkydink if it isn't him

might be worth ordering the cert and seeing what other info is on it if any

ooh lucky you .. have lovely travels :)
