tocemma Posted 8 November , 2011 Share Posted 8 November , 2011 Hello all, Can anyone help me identify the location of the 1/5th South Lancs, 166 Brigade, 55th Div, on 22nd April 1918? I am researching Sergeant William Walter White, who was killed by shellfire that day. All help gratefully received! Kind regards Tocemma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Company in Le Plantin North (post) A Festubert B Cailloux (post) C in support by Bn HQ at X.30.c.50.25. On 22 April there was a heavy shellfire on the right as the Germans attempted to recapture Route "A" Keep from the 1/5th King's Own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
