Guest njrossiter Posted 9 November , 2011 Share Posted 9 November , 2011 Hi A relative was killed 15th Sep 1916 on the Somme. He was Private Thomas Rossiter 3939 of the 5th btn DLI however sometimes I have seen his battalion as 1/5th (which I believe is a Territorial battalion) I am wondering how and where I can obtain information on when/where he enlisted and how long he had been in France. I believe he was killed in the action when the battalion was attacking the Martin Trench near Martinpuich but I am confused about which battalion he was actually with. Any help would be appreciated Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
