just adding another relative to my list, I have been looking to see where he was killed in action. CWGC has him on the Basra memorial,  Ancestry has Mesopotamia.

Edgar James Wilkins or James Edward Wilkins or just James Wilkins, depending on which resource you read was KIA on 18.4.16. apparently according to SDGW he was with

the 5th Duke of Edinburgh's Wiltshire Regiment but Ancestry do not have a war diary for the 5th after January 1916.

can a Wiltshires expert confirm location and what was happening on the date, thanks
