Entries listed as No Known Grave Brookwood:-
This refers to The Brookwood Memorial (Surrey) on this Memorial will be found all those who have No Known Grave and were not Commemorated on any other Memorial throughout the World.
Where date of death is given as after the serving unit was disbanded:-
This can occur due to being discharged as unfit for military service (injuries / wounds etc) and the person later dying as a result of the reason for discharge, he is then accorded honours as for a serving member.
Those where the Serving unit is unlisted:-
These are as per the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's Cemetery Registers, should anyone have information as to which unit the person was attached to I would be much obliged if you will inform me.
