2/Lt E.R. Haywood, poss. North Staffordshires

2/Lt. R.S. Jeffcock, 1/6 South Staffordshires

2/Lt. W.d. Wood, South Staffordshire tho' poss transferred

Lt. T. Causer, RWR

Sorry to be such a pain!

Many thanks

Ken

Ken,

I can locate a photo for Lt. Walter Henry Fox.

I do not have anything on 2.Lt Jeffcock

Cannot find any information to suggest any of the following officers died during the war: 2.Lt. Art Bennett, 2.Lt E.R. Haywood, 2.Lt W.D. Wood or Lt. T. Causer. Are you sure these are the correct names?

Regards, Steve

2Lt [or even Captain] CRJR Dolling RWF killed 1916 please?  You are doing Pals a great service with this info.

A quick check revealed this group photo with Dolling identified. I'll check some other sources though.

Dave,

I didn't see it. I have now checked and can't see anything in the ILN. Do you know anything else about him?; I can check other sources but it's a needle in a haystack without more information.

Many thanks for your trouble: I have this photo, and it is because he looks, shall we say, droll, that I would like a decent shot of him. Good luck with your search.

DOUGLAS LANE EVANS

Captain 6th Bn., Northamptonshire Regiment who died on Tuesday, 26th September 1916.

Captain 2nd Bn, Gloucestershire Regiment who died on Sunday, 1st October 1916.

And two on the same day:

OWEN MACAULAY EICKE MC
