206867 Samuel Mather from:Preston, Lancs My Grandfather Samuel Mather went to war in 1915 and returned in 1916 on medical grounds. I have been trying to discover more about the country and battlefield he was at but unfortunately to no avail. Samuel passed away in 1919 only 3 years after returning from the war. I visited his grave in 2008 and was saddened to find that he did not have a commonwealth war grave. I have been told that this was because he did not die from war related reasons. I fail to see how this could be after he was discharged on medical grounds and his death certificate states that he was on a war pension when he died. My father always told me that his father Samuel had died from mustard gas poisoning. Is there anyway I can find out more about my grandfather?
