Sherwood Forrester MM

[Terry Carter]

Need a big favour from a Forum member whose interests lie in the Sherwood Foresters (Notts & Derby Regt).

Pte Edgar Pogson M.M. 14134 11 Bn Notts & Derby died 7/10/18 and buried in Tincourt New British Cemetery.

Whereabouts was he and his battalion a few days leading up to his death. Also where did he earn his MM?

Taking his relative over to France in July.

Cheers

Terry
