23 (previously 24) died on this day: Wed 31/08/1921

UPDATED JUST BEFORE PUBLICATION

Whilst re-researching the fallen of 31/8/1921 for the (Hero JOGLE Relay) in August 2021, we discovered that one of the following men has been re-dated 31/8/1920).  

As changing this would require all the statistics posts for the last year to be amended, I decided to leave this as a record of the historical data as at August 2014.

However I will post an amending to the blog for 31/8/1920 to update that record there.
