He was actually born on the 10th February 1896. My Wife and I visited his grave in Belgium on the 11th February this year, but obviously I did not know his actually birthday then. While I was there, I also saw the details of his Mother and Father. Thanks. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Hi, An update to my research into Michael Riley. I ahd originally thought that my Sister and I were the only living relatives of Michael. Through another forum, I have found his Nephew, who I was led to believe had passed away. He has two Daughters who I had never met. Today I have just visited them and will now keep in touch. I have a question to ask now: Does anyone on the forum have any details of the action from the book by E.Wyrall, The West Yorkshire Regiment. Thanks.

mr.jingles Posted 9 November , 2012 Author Share Posted 9 November , 2012 Not been on the forum for a while, but my Wife and I are hoping to go back to Belgium early next year for another visit to Michael`s grave. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.jingles Posted 17 February , 2013 Author Share Posted 17 February , 2013 Hi, An update to my research. I originally said that Michael Riley was born in Boldon Colliery, he was actually born in Primrose Hill Hospital, which is in Jarrow, on 10/02/1896.This is still known as Primrose Hill. Michael lived in Boldon Colliery, and the house he lived in is still there. My Wife and I are going on a battlefields tour in September, so hopefully we will visit his grave again .
