Non-combat deaths 1

Of the 1,998 Other Ranks on the 1914 Star medal roll, I have identified that 703 of these men died between 1914 and 1921. 634 of the 703 were killed in action or died of wounds. The remaining 69 are listed below. Some died of illness whilst still serving. In some cases, the men were to die of their injuries after having been medically discharged, and as a consequence they are commemorated by the CWGC. Eight men were aboard a troopship (HMT Royal Edward) headed for Gallipoli and perished when their troopship was torpedoed. 58 of these 69 men are currently commemorated by the CWGC.

It has been remarked that the First World War was the first conflict where deaths on the battlefield were greater than those deaths from disease.
