'''d.''' simply denotes a soldier '''died''', usually as a result of sickness such as dysentry, colitis, pneumonia or malaria etc. It could also denote an accidental death such as a firearm discharge. It was a term used widely throughout the First World War along side [[Killed in action|k.i.a. (killed in action)]] and [[Died of wounds|d.o.w. (died of wounds)]]. All three were used exclusively in the 1921 War Office publication ''{{SDGW}}[[Soldiers Died in the Great War 1914-19, Volume 39, The Border Regiment|Soldiers Died in the Great War]]''. All casualties in the [[Lonsdale Battalion Roll of Honour]] have been compiled from this publication and cross referenced with {{CWGC}}.
