Stephenb Posted 13 February , 2007 Author Share Posted 13 February , 2007 Steve, I have currently got a posting running under "Soldier" on Lieutenant Bennet Burleigh of the 7th Lancashire Fusiliers, killed Gallipoli, 15 July 1915. When I did a "Google" on his name, it said that he was mentioned in the Illustrated London News of 25 September 1915. When you have a moment, I wonder if you could have a look and see if Lieut Burleigh is featured. Many thanks Moriaty Hello Moriaty, I have found him on the Roll of Honour for that date. A one-liner summary note at the bottom says "..Lieut. Bennet Burleigh was son of the late Mr. Bennet Burleigh, the famous war-correspondent, and was himself a journalist." Will post a scan at the weekend. Hope you're keeping well, Regards, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem if the answer is no I will fully understand. If you are able to meet the request you could email me through the forum and I can send you a list with dates.

Moriaty Posted 15 February , 2007 Share Posted 15 February , 2007 Thanks Steve, I am keeping well and busy. I am off to Gallipoli at the end of April and was looking for a "local" soldier who I could research and follow in his footsteps. It was quite by chance that I came across Bennet Burleigh who lived very close to my house in London and so I am on a crash course trying to find out about him and his fascinating family Moriaty Hello Moriaty, I have found him on the Roll of Honour for that date. A one-liner summary note at the bottom says "..Lieut. Bennet Burleigh was son of the late Mr. Bennet Burleigh, the famous war-correspondent, and was himself a journalist."

Unfortunately there is nothing for your other relative as he was not an officer. Regards, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
