Deaths Dec 1919 Bowdler Arthur R H 31 Hampstead 1a 704

He was recently accepted for commemoration as war dead and his name was added to the United Kingdom Book of Remembrance.

The United Kingdom Book of Remembrance commemorates United Kingdom casualties of the two World Wars who were not formerly recorded by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The men and women remembered on it are recent additions to the list of war dead and are presently commemorated solely by their database record and register entry. The register is maintained at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's Head Office, Maidenhead, and the names will remain recorded there until such time as The Commission has investigated the grave location details. In every case, the burial place is known but cannot immediately be made public-there are certain protocols to be followed-a process which can extend to as long as 3 years.

As at 22nd September 2016, there are 283 recorded casualties.
His is one of the names which are now past the temporary time period allowed to find the graves or are known not to have a findable grave (died at sea etc). Some could still be found in future but it is now time to give these casualties proper commemoration in stone.
Therefore, his Official Point of Commemoration as at 8th October 2016, is now the Brookwood 1914-1918 Memorial.

[The Brookwood 1914-1918 Memorial has now taken over from Hollybrook Memorial as the memorial for those WW1 army personnel who died at sea.]
