Thanks for that information Brett.

Thanks to all for your generous help in adding a little flesh to the bones and I have updated his profile accordingly.

WO100/261 gives his name as Gracey, confirms his death and suggests his medal was issued on the 17th of June 1908.

Thanks Frank

Curious that it appears to give his date of death as the 2nd March...

Indeed, but, it was not written at the time, I would certainly go with the 27th as actually correct.
