timberwood Posted 1 March , 2009 Share Posted 1 March , 2009 Has anyone information on Privates Matthew Bannister 12986 and John Hoban 18737, both killed 1st May 1917, whilst serving with 12th Btn Kings Liverpool Regiment. I have been on Soldiers died found they have no known graves, commemorated on Thiepval memorial. I believe these Soldiers may have been killed along side my Great Uncle Sergeant Arthur Parker 14811.
