RICHARD BLOMER WW1 (1920)
« on: Thursday 10 July 25 14:17 BST (UK) »
RICHARD BLOMER died on 24 Jan 1920 after serving with the Royal Army Service Corps. Aged 32, he was the husband of Harriet Blomer.
Richard died in Farnborough Hospital but his Pension Cards give his home address as Wildwood Farm, Baynards, near Horsham.
Richard is entitled to War Grave status - if proof of burial can be established.  I have confirmation that he is not interred in any of the cemeteries controlled by Horsham Council.
Does anyone know where Richard Blomer is buried ?  Any information would be gratefully received.
