The Infantry Records Office in York, having been requested by the Directorate of Graves Registration to provide details of the burial place of the late Pte. Joseph Clayton (see 25th July), who had died in November 1917 whilst serving with 83rd Training Reserve Battalion at Gateshead, made further enquiries. A request was directed to the Dukes Regimental Depot in Halifax; “An enquiry sent to Nuns Lane School Hospital (where Pte. Clayton had died) has been returned by the Postal Authorities, endorsed ‘not known’. I shall therefore be much obliged if you can inform me from your records the burial place of the late soldier to enable me to reply to the enquiry”. A similar request would be sent, next day, to Pte. Clayton’s father.
