cradleymon Posted 30 September , 2013 Author Share Posted 30 September , 2013 Hi Coldstreamer I'm researching men on my local war memorial and I have a Alfred Edmonds who enlisted in the name of Edwards R/N 16665. He died of wounds on March 2nd 1918 and I'm trying to get some idea from the war diary of how he possibly got his wounds. I know its a long shot but there may be some obvious action he could have possibly have been in Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
