"The total number of named deaths due to War Operations in Hull recorded by the Commonwealth
War Graves Commission (CWGC) numbers 1,171 1,180. This includes
fifteen twenty members of the armed services, and five of the Merchant
Navy (four as civilian deaths, one as a service death)."
"In contrast there are no civilians in the CWGC's records who cannot be
reconciled with a death registration, either in Hull (1,148 1,160),
Holderness (13), or elsewhere (8 7)."
[Four civilians deaths due to War Operations added to CWGC register after MS was completed,
and five service deaths not previously confirmed as due to War Operations, as per Addendum
below]
"One is female, three male, and two indeterminate; three are aged zero, one being a
known air raid casualty."
[All are now known to be non-War Operations deaths, while the death of the known infant air raid
casualty does not actually appear to have been registered]

Guy, while death registration is Freeman; birth and marriage registrations suggest Guy is
correct, but unclear why Freeman is recorded]
