Sergent Innis McKay
Sergeant Innis McKay was one of the fortunate soldiers whose remains were matched against a known loss many years after the war - in this case by then CWGC Chief Records Officer (Canadian) Norm Christie in 1992. The match was made on the basis of the MM award, as noticed in this citation, the MM ribbon found with the remains and the unit affiliation (19th Battalion). You will note in the other documents that the CWGC records report this change. The original death records do not reflect the find.

This is the Concentrations of Grave documentation at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission that shows the record was changed when the 1992 identification of Sergeant McKay's remains were reported and accepted.

Circumstance of Death record for Sgt. McKay showing the trench grave coordinates where he was reported lost in November of 1917. It is a mere 300 yards from where the body was later recovered in October 1925.

Sergeant McKay's E13 War Grave Register still suggests that his remains were not found and that his name is listed on the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial.

A 1917 era trench map of the area south of the Village of Passchendaele shows the location where the Circumstance of Death record shows that Sgt. McInnis was lost (blue star). To the left (west) you will see the area marked (red star) where his remains were recovered in 1925 - a separation distance of about 300 yards. The trench mark has green squares and notations to show how the location is determined. For example this is MAP 28 and the area is in the large Sector D and the remains were lost and found in sub-sector 12. That area is divided into four quadrants (a, b. c. and d) each having a 10x10 grid. The two locations are thus 28.D.12.c.95.70 (found) and 28.D.12.d.6.7 (lost).
