| *d. signifies that the soldier died but SDGW does not elaborate further. This could mean he died as a result of sickness such as dysentry, colitis, pneumonia or malaria etc., or possibly an accidental death.. However, the CWGC states he died of heart failure, but from what, it does not say.*Husband of Annie Keen, of 22 Milton Road, Hanwell, Middl. |

This is a lengthy process and when completed updates to the other Border Regiment Rolls of Honour will follow. |
