Sgt. Cornelius Chapman
British Army 24th Btn., A Coy. 1 Plt. Royal Fusiliers
from:Whites Road, Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire
(d.18th February 1919)
Cornelius Chapman is my grandfather who is at rest in Cologne Cemetery. He suffered a gunshot wound in August 1918 and came back to England to recover but then succumbed to pneumonia after returning to the front and died in February 1919 possibly following flu?
He had two children Walter (Sonny) and Constance who he never met.
Other than my sister and myself and our family I know of no other living relatives but would welcome any information
