Henry B. “Harry; Whitbread” Whitebread

Corporal · #6292658 · M1 Patrol

What this roll records

DUPLICATE RECORD MERGED (2026). The roll held this man twice — once with his service number and once without it, under a variant spelling of the surname. The entry with no number could not be caught by the shared-number test that found the earlier duplicates, nor by the photograph test, because it had neither. It was found by asking whether the roll already held him with a number. This card is the survivor; the discarded entry read “Whitbread, H.”. Both entries are Corporals; H is Henry; the surnames differ by one letter.
