Colin W Taylor Posted 26 September , 2014 Share Posted 26 September , 2014 Paul The war diary states for 6/7 Feb 1918: 'On right battalion front. Patrols sent out along Spriet Road towards Papa Farm, and towards Spider Cross Roads. 1 OR Killed, 2 OR wounded.' Presumably your man was killed whilst on one of these patrols. Kind regards Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest minp237 Posted 27 September , 2014 Share Posted 27 September , 2014 Colin Thanks so much for this information it's a lot more information than I've been able to locate before as I'm very new to all this. It helps to just put together a picture of these guys sacrifice which I'm intrigued about especially as I've served myself. Thanks again Paul.
