If you goggle "Brough-sic" and see what comes up.
Where did you get your information from
also search this group for a post by Windmill in 2008
"uk soldiers died in the Great War"
As I'm not sure if my answer is right but I think it is when a person is sent home wounded from the theater of war and then dies at home/hospital. The death certificate should tell you this,

Not sure if this answers your question.?
Sic in square brackets is an editing term used with quotations or excerpts. It means “that’s really how it appears in the original.”
It is used to point out a grammatical error, misspelling, misstatement of fact, or, as above, the unconventional spelling of a name

What is the source? Original document or transcription?
Found on the internet:
UK Soldiers Died in the Great War:
Name: Michael Clifford
Residence: Mallow, CO. Cork
Death Date: 1 Nov 1916
Rank: SPR.
Regiment: Corps of Royal Engineers
Number: 205403
Type of Casualty: Died
Theatre of War: Brough - Sic
Comments: I.W.T., R.E.
This appears to be quoting a record from the Ancestry version of a well known database.
Now look up the same record in the same Ancestry database (UK, Soldiers Died in the Great War, 1914-1919). Do this now.
I think you'll find that it now says Theatre of War: Home
In other words it was an Ancestry glitch which has now been fixed.

Hi Peter.
I did get this from Ancestery.
Does this mean he never fought abroad.
