Hi Stokkie, Thank you for your response. Disability rather than distance prohibits my visiting Brum. I haven't found any links to newspaper reports for the time frame mentioned Master. I do appreciate your warnings about news items and Coroners reports being disturbing. After serving for 19 years as a Bobby until I suffered a HA I am well used to the tragic details. My main interest was to find out if this poor man left a note of any sort. The Coroners Court was held very quickly compared to these days and decisions were made speedily unlike now. I am writing about Phillip Carter Champs son George. He was serving in the Royal Horse Field Artillery at the time of his Dad's demise. He cut short his service and then emigrated to Canada. When WW1 broke out he joined the Canadian RHFA. He was wounded in the knee and later severely gassed. Invalided back to Canada to see his life out. Mike
