    Blimey, Kyle. I have never seen such a contradiction before.

    I did a bit of a search of Castleford War Memorials and found a William Nodder, but he is listed as WWI War Dead: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~framland/caspc.htm Nothing on CWGC for WWI though.

    This is all rather weird...

    Probably needs a viewing of the applicable 'Missing Files' at the National Archives.

    Best,

    Steve.
