MarkTrotter Posted 16 October , 2016 Share Posted 16 October , 2016 Hello. I am tying to establish where my Great Grandfather, Gummer Edward Laskey, 340662,died. He is buried in the cemetary at Duisans near Arrass. He was part of the 124th Siege Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery. He died on 10 August 1917. I hope that someone may know of the location of the 124th on that day so I know where he was. Many thank Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinrowlinson Posted 16 October , 2016 Share Posted 16 October , 2016 You could have a look at the battery war diary, available from the NA £3.45 at http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/a667b844302a4974a983786474200489 .
