jim_davies Posted 8 June , 2003 Share Posted 8 June , 2003 Hoping someone would be able to look-up this lad on soldiers died. Pte Albert James Pickering, 2/5th Leicesters. Little bit of difference between CWGC info and that in another source. Thanks. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_davies Posted 8 June , 2003 Author Share Posted 8 June , 2003 Thanks Jock, I was having trouble with date of death. You've confirmed the CWGC details. And while I know there's a few errors in CWGC & SD, I think they've got it right compared to the source I was using (Rutland and the Great War), which shows him enlisting 12 Oct 1915, and passing away 18 Jul 1916. There's the same problem with his brother John, with the date of death exactly a year off. Thanks again. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
