Un-named Suicide in Winters's Office on 17 May 1921

Sturgis in his diary says that there was "another" suicide in Winter's Office on this date. The problem is to find the name. I can see possibilities

The man was a serving soldier and appears on the CWGC
The man was a serving soldier but has not been put on CWGC
The man was ADRIC and so would not be eligable for CWGC recognition
If a soldier it should be in Soldiers effects, but the only one there is Percival

If one looks at CWGC death for that day, these are they

BEVAN	E	731393	241ST BTY NORTH MIDLAND BDE	17/05/1921	ROYAL FIELD ARTILLERY	CWGC
HUNTER	WC	7222	-	17/05/1921	KING'S SHROPSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY	CWGC
MURRAY	P	3009	2ND/5TH BN	17/05/1921	WEST YORKSHIRE REGIMENT (PRINCE OF WALES'S OWN)	CWGC
PERCIVAL	M	3645255	1ST BN	17/05/1921	KING'S OWN (ROYAL LANCASTER REGIMENT)	not him -details
ROSS	E	275724	ATTD GHQ	17/05/1921	ROYAL FIELD ARTILLERY	buried Bagdhad
SHUCK	G	5095639	DEPOT	17/05/1921	ROYAL WARWICKSHIRE REGIMENT	CWGC
WALSH	JJ	18902	-	17/05/1921	ROYAL FIELD ARTILLERY	CWGC
WILLIAMS	E	PO/15586	8TH RM BN RN DIV	17/05/1921	ROYAL MARINE LIGHT INFANTRY	not him-details

So that reduces to 5 possible men in CWGC graves

Walsh JJ The most likely to me. But I cannot get enough on him - no MIC, and if he was born in Liverpool, what is his connection with Exeter. His service number in RFA does not give his MIC but a man called McEwan. However his death is registered in Exeter

Walsh, Bevan, Hunter, Murray, Shuck all appear to have deaths registered in England, and not in Ireland

It appears that all the CWGC men are all deaths in England and can be ruled out as suicide in Dublin.

Another approach would be to look at the men who I know were in Winters Office, but that list is not complete by any means

Lt F P Ryan, ADRIC 85 RNA - appears to have been pensioned in 1922
2nd Lt D H M Boyle - still alive in 1922
Capt C E Barrow ADRIC 610, RAF - still alive in 1924

British soldiers died in Ireland
