Keith,
You mention that he died in an accident in 1944.

To qualify for War Grave status and CWGC listing a person had to die both whilst on duty and of a war cause or the increased threat brought on by war. Death due to accident, illness or marine disaster would not qualify unless it met both these conditions.

It would be up to the enquirer to provide evidence to the CWGC. You can contact the CWGC for free and they will acknowledge your email immediately but they are running about 6 weeks of a backlog before they can give you a specific answer to your question. <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.cwgc.org/contact.asp?menuid=7">http://www.cwgc.org/contact.asp?menuid=7</a>

If he had been a member of HM Forces he would have been commemorated by the CWGC even if killed in an accident.

ss STANWELL official number 133565 was scuttled at Normandy 16/7/1944.

Regards
Hugh
