[greeneyes61]

My great Uncle died on 5th april 1916 at Masopotamia

he was in the 6th bat south lancashire reg

he wa private walter ismael 11411.

I do has some information but it is quite hard to read some of the details on the documents adhaim

I think he was killed before the battle of adhaim as this was started on 16.17 april and he was already dead by then.#

any information would be greatly appriciated

Major general thanks for that,

the info I have is just from his records online which just give his reg details and when he was killed.

I have tried to find out what battles he was in and a timeline

so I could document a more detailed account of his war

Thank you

I came across your thread and found a photo, taken from the Basra Memorial 2 years ago. It lists the South Lancs and Walters name is approx. centre of the plaque.

All the best
