    Default SEMARK, Richard Benjamin b1887

    Mis-filed with MARTIN in the WW1 Service Records (WO 363):

    Richard Benjamin SEMARK of Eccles, Kent, attested for the Durham Light Infantry on 26 February 1916. Regt No: 5227

    Declared age: 27y 156d
    Married Grace OSBORNE at Aylesford in August 1911 (the Record shows 3 Aug 1912; freebmd shows Q3 1911)
    Children: Lily Grace Ruby (1912) & Leslie Benjamin (1914)

    Only 2 pages, but it may save the purchase of certificates!

    Odd. There's 3 hits on the medal index, 2 of which are DLI and one ASC. All numbers wrong.
    Same problem with the service records...
    Note to self - because the name's unusual doesn't mean it'll be easy!

    He's not on CWGC, so must have survived the War.
