[Tim Wright]

My Grandfather Charles Edward Freeman, 2nd batt Devonshire regiment was taken prisoner during their famous battle at Bois Des Buttes on the 27/5/18.

I have no other information apart from the fact that he was released on the 29/12/18.

If anyone has any information or could point me in the right direction i would be very grateful.

Tim.
