ralphjd Posted 4 June , 2019 Share Posted 4 June , 2019 No trace anywhere that I can find of this mans death. A report in the Rochdale Observer 4 5 1918 has him being killed 22 3 1918 . Born Rochdale 1893 son of Thomas R and Elizabeth Holt , two brothers according to the 1901 census. What is his number ? where is he buried/commemorated ? enlisted where ? Any help much appreciated. Baffled of Milnrow. Ralph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave66 Posted 4 June , 2019 Share Posted 4 June , 2019 His service file is quite hard to read, but it does state killed in action, them m.i.a., prisoner of war and later repatriated. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave66 Posted 4 June , 2019 Share Posted 4 June , 2019 Good to see he survived, I can find a death in 1964 which matches...aged 70. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
