He was Evacuated from Gallipoli in December 1915 back to Egypt till February 1916 when they were sent to Salonika- strange his Soldiers Effects Record only states he Died as a L/Cpl in the Casualty Clearing Station in Salonika
it does not say How he  Died - like the others listed. - Most Odd.
Nor does it mention the change of name of the Hussars in February 1916
His War Gratuity Awarded calculates to Enlisted 1914 as stated in previous Posts

The South Notts Hussars retained their name until April 1918, when the regiment was dismounted to form B Battalion, Machine Gun Corps along with the 1/1st Warwickshire Yeomanry.
The only thing that happened in February 1916 was that the South Notts' parent brigade was redesignated from the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Mounted Brigade to the 7th Mounted Brigade, when they moved to Salonika.
