TBee Posted 11 November , 2018 Share Posted 11 November , 2018 Robert Bush 14165, 64th Bde., Machine Gun Corps Remembered with honor on the THIEPVAL MEMORIAL. He has no known grave. I have researched my great uncle above and have exhausted everything there is to know about this man, Place of birth, family tree, service records and War Diary entry. Robert has his name inscribed on the Thiepval Memorial, a few years of searching I have been unable to find his name inscribed any where else.... A Norfolk lad, moved to Yorkshire for work then enlisted to the E. Yorks Regt, and transferred to the MGC....I have made attempts to contact his birth home village via there history group and also there parish council, neither respond.. I have become deeply saddened by the response of his local village the place where he and his family were born, to recognize him and to help to have his name placed on the village memorial. I was hoping that there would be some kind of efforts made, this being a special year. We have all these local talks about remembrance but this soldier has been forgotten to his home land..... I wonder if anyone who would be visiting Thiepval Memorial with a decent camera, would be able to supply me with a photo of Roberts name inscribed, I say a decent camera as I understand his name appears very high up.....Thank you.
