Stephenb Posted 9 April , 2004 Author Share Posted 9 April , 2004 Steve this is a very kind offer, and I see a lot of people have taken you up on it already. If its not too much trouble, please could you look for: CAPERN, HENRY JAMES (HAL) 2 Lt, 11th btn, KRRC, "attd 59th T.M. bty" (I don't know what this means) died 22 March 1918, aged 23 He was my grandmother's cousin. She lost an uncle and 5 cousins, but Hal was the only one who was an officer. He was an only child and I have no idea what happened to his photos, medals etc after his parents died. It would be lovely to see a photo of him. thank you, Pat Pat, couldn't see him. Could be in the Sphere, so I'll keep an eye out for him in any April/May 1918 editions I come across.

Many thanks Clare Clare, Re. Capt. Wilfred Henry Hensley 6th (Service) Bn. S.L.I. no luck in finding a photo in the Illustrated London News. This is not uncommon with Spring Offensive casualties as there were so many in a short period of time. I have an obituary reference in De Ruvigny's which I can transcribe here if you want.

Regards, Steve Steve, For 6 months there was still some doubts if Lieut. Blakeway had died of his wounds or had been taken prisoner of war by the Germans. His death was officially confirmed to his family in september/october 1916. Could this make a difference? Again many thanks, Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short, this would make a great difference. I used to own a medal group to a Captain P.C.Taylor 1/2nd Londons KIA at Combles on the 15/9/16. His death wasn't officially accepted until June 1917. Once I gleaned this fact from his officer's papers I then found a Roll of Honour entry for him in July 1917. Regards, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source -> de Ruvigny's Roll of Honour, Volume II, Part IV, p81. He attended Dean Close School so there's a chance they have a Roll of Honour with a photograph. Here's the website link -> http://www.deanclose.co.uk/ Now you have the school information you could try a post to the "British school registers and rolls of honor" topic in this section of the forum.
