When you have a spare moment, could you look up...

Date 1917

Source Gloucester Journal, 21 July

Hi,

Just to confirm that there is no image in the Gloucester Journal for Private Mitchell of the Devon Regiment. He was amongst about 60 wounded who arrived in Gloucester on Sat 17th. July 1917.

The term Article refers to the list of names published in the newspaper

Hope that helps

[jp1885]

Thanks for taking a look. He's on my list of 'nearby' service numbers to my great uncle's in the Glosters so I was looking for clues.

Many thanks for the recent pictures
