Jonboymp Posted 29 October , 2013 Share Posted 29 October , 2013 Hi chaps, The gentleman above is my great Uncle, he was KIA on the 01 Jan 17 in Ypres. I have visited his grave at Railway Dugouts and managed to download the war diary of the Bn. All it really says is that 2 sergeants were killed during an artillery barrage, no mention of names or further details. Can anyone tell me more about the Bn's movements at that time and how I may be able to find out any further info etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tyneside Chinaman Posted 29 October , 2013 Share Posted 29 October , 2013 The incident is mentioned in the text on page 204. Tiplady was a stretcher bearer going to assist the wounded when he was caught by the barrage. regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
