trenchtrotter Posted 17 March , 2010 Share Posted 17 March , 2010 This is Z/4015 Able Seaman Francis Henry Tebbutt. He is my Father in Laws Uncle. He died on 13/11/16 during the assault on Beucourt / Ancre valley. Last November I took Chris to see his Uncles grave..the first time ever a family member (apart from me) had visited his grave in the Ancre British Cemetery. He served with the Nelson Battalion. I have visited his grave over a number of years since I researched him. His family always thought he died at Gallipoli. Chris kindly entrusted me to keep his 14/15 Star and last Sunday gave me this p/c. I am very honoured and it is a most treasured possesion. I post it here as a lovely tribute to a young man and also a lovely image of a RND uniform and cap tally taken at Crystal Palace I guess early in 1915. I just wanted to share and I shall pay my respects at his grave next week. Probably wrong sub forum...sorry! TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
