MIC - There are two Joseph Eaton's - 3rd Bn Cheshire Rgt.   One states that
he was discharged from the Army on the 2nd April 1916 following sickness
recorded from the 12th December 1915.  No. 32948.   The other states that
he was discharged from the Army on the 17th January 1917, following
sickness recorded from the 10th December 1915.  No. 59231.   It is likely
that they are the same person with two differing MIC records???
