Private, "C" Coy. 9th Bn. King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry. Service No: 35746. Age: 27. Died 9th April 1917. Son of William and Jane Dean, of Keighley; husband of Jane Ann Dean, of 100, Turkey St, Keighley, Yorks. COJEUL BRITISH CEMETERY, ST. MARTIN-SUR-COJEUL, Row A, Grave 2.
 * George William Dean**

West Riding Regiment - Posted wounded and later posted killed. According to CWGC records, no man with the surname Dean and initials either G or W died whilst serving in the West Riding Regiment so we think it's likelyan error, or that George was transferred to the KOYLI after entering France/Flanders.



Georges' Medal Index Card shows that he served with both the West Riding Regiment and the KOYLI. SDGW states that he had prior service with the 2nd Bn.West Riding Regiment BUT this contradicts his MIC card which indicates that he started his service with the KOYLI.
