WW1 HOME BURIALS

Stephen
Where is the Kut link?  Porter died after wounds in France.
From all the evidence there is unlikely to be any surviving family living locally, therefore no-one to pay for the restoration of the headstone.

Sorry guys, I assumed we were talking about this man

http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/638069/PORTER,%20W%20G

who is the only canidarte I could locate on CWGC.

Are we therefore saying that he is not commemorated by CWGC, depsite dying of wounds, which would make him a candidate for In From The Cold project?

[tonyrodaway]

 I would say yes to that stephen with a clear head ,  we need more information,   then we shall bring him in  tony

Hi all,
I was just about to start a non-commemoration query on the GWF for William Porter but came across your thread, if you've got it covered I'll drop it!

I don't have any further information for you but would add that, as I understand it, the record posted by Radcliff (copied below) is from the actual burial records so this is W Porter's grave, not just an inscription.

William Porter
aged 27 years
a salesman
abode Belfayre Jubilee Formby
22nd April 1916
conformist section c grave 748
