Phil Naylor Posted 23 January , 2011 Share Posted 23 January , 2011 Iam researching 6991 Arthur Tyreman who died on the 28th of April 1915 and is buried in the Guards Cemetery ,Windy Corner Cuinchy. He was a member of the 2nd Battalion and I would appreciate any information on the action this unit was engaged upon at the time of his death . Many Thanks Phil Naylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roughdiamond Posted 25 January , 2011 Share Posted 25 January , 2011 Do you have his service record yet Phil? BTW PM means Personal Message, click on Graeme's name and it'll take you to his own page where you'll have the option to send him a PM with your e-mail address, don't post it on the forum.
