wills. R. at 150. The affidavits from Messrs. Almazan and Pacquing, alleging that Carlos Pacquing died during World War II and thus could not have placed the veteran with the BC, are likewise not material given that the veteran admitted under oath to having served in the BC. R. at 110. See Blackburn, Villaruz, and Cox, all supra. The other evidence added to the record is similarly not new and material. The .service records submitted address the veteran’s dates of active and inactive duty with the Navy; most are duplicates of documents already of record, and are not material because they do not shed light on his activities with the BC between 1942 and 1944. Compare R. at 15, 17, 19, 28, 41, 44-45, 47 with R. at 160-61, 185, 195, 201, 203; see Rightly v. Brown, 6 Vet.App. 200, 205 (1994) (<HOLDING>); Colvin, supra. The appellant asserts that the
holding error in admission of evidence is harmless when it was merely cumulative to other evidence in the record holding that evidence not submitted to the district court cannot be part of the record on appeal holding that new evidence must be evidence that is not merely cumulative holding that new evidence is evidence not previously of record and not merely cumulative of other evidence holding that material submitted by appellant that is cumulative of evidence previously of record is not new
