6th Bn Dorset. 13 February 1917

[Terry Carter]

Birmingham born Pte Samuel Clarke 11950, 6th Dorsets died of wounds on 13 Feb 1917. He is buried in Guards Cemetery, Combles. So I guess the battalion were in the front line not too far away.

Can a forum pal give me the info on the 6th Dorsets for 13 Feb 1917 please. According to the letter sent to Clarke's parents, he was wounded in a violent artillery bombardment.

Thanks

Terry
