Notes
The Roll of Honour includes an appendix headed "Men thought to be from Peterborough who were killed in action, but about whom little can be discovered regarding addresses, regiments, dates of death etc". That page includes this entry for "Charles Munday [sic]", who it states served in the Middlesex Regiment (no rank stated), and "died from exposure on the way home". It lists no address for him. [This entry derives from the original 1921 version of the Roll, which included an entry for "Charles Munday", for whom it recorded no address, rank, regimental number, place or date of death].

(CWGC currently records that "Private C E Mundey" died on 2/3/1919, having previously served in the Middlesex Regiment under regimental number GS/599, and later in the Labour Corps under regimental number 444370. He is buried in grave Q.1.4143 at Islington Cemetery and Crematorium in Middlesex. [CWGC's original Graves Registration Form recorded him as "C.H. Mundey"].
The true name of the man who died on 2/3/1919 and is buried at Islington was Charles Henry Mundey, as which he was recorded in the Medal Rolls, that indicate he was sent to France on 31/5/1915 and later died on 2/3/1919. The Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects record that Charles Henry Mundey, regimental number 444370, died on 2/3/1919 at 1 South Street in Islington, and that his widow Elsie R Mundey was his legatee.
His death was registered in Islington District in 1919 as "Charles H Mundey", aged 24.
The marriage of Charles Henry Mundey to Elsie Rose Morgan on 5/11/1916 was recorded in the Marriage registers of Islington Parish Church; Charles gave his age as 22, his occupation as soldier, his address as Fort Horsted Camp in Chatham, and his father's name as Ernest Percy Mundey, deceased Chief Petty Officer of the Royal Navy.
On the 1911 census Charles had been living with his father Ernest at 1 Crown Street, New England in Peterborough; Charles' place of birth was given as Portsmouth. On the 1901 census he had been recorded as "Charlie", living with his parents Ernest and Catherine in Plumstead, London. His birth had been registered as Charles Henry Mundey in 1894 in the Portsea Island District in Hampshire.
As records confirm that his forenames were Charles Henry, CWGC have now been requested to consider amending their records accordingly.
