I have two Great Uncles who died in the Great War.  I have been given  some wonderful info on my first topic and don't wish to be greedy but hope you may be able to help with this Gt Uncle.

 

He was Frederick David Yell......15990. I believe he joined up in 1915. Died 3rd May 1917 and his name is on the Arras Memorial.  

Many thanks

The war gratuity paid on death tells us he had less than 12 months service at the time of death so, unless he had some sort of break in qualifying service, he enlisted May 1916 or later.
