2nd Batt Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers - 7th Batt The King's (Liverpool Regiment)

[GJW]

Hi,

 

I have 2 soldiers killed on the same date - 16th May 1915 from the battalions above. They are buried quite closely. Le Touret Memorial and Guards Cemetery Windy Corner. I am very interested to know if there was any connections with their deaths. They both stemmed from the same village.

 

Thanks,

 

Gerard

What about his service number? Not to mention the other soldier you mention.

Hi Simon,

 

I posted 2 names Hannon and Carey (or mis-spelt Cairey on CWGC) above. Hannon (liverpool's) was an officer and had no number. Carey is 8179.
