jim_davies Posted 5 March , 2009 Share Posted 5 March , 2009 Harry enlisted into the 2/4th Lincs in mid May 1915. Was renumbered when he was transferred to the 8th Lincs, (most likely 20 Nov 1916). Killed by shellfire at Rosignol Wood. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Gina hasn't been onto the forum since 2009 But if you reply to this you will then be able to send her a private message (click on her name and then message). That will trigger an email to the address she registered with and providing she is still using it will be alerted to your message. In the meantime good luck with your research and feel free to ask questions. Regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
