Stevend Posted 15 February , 2021 Share Posted 15 February , 2021 I am researching this soldier who was in the 2and Grenadier Guards and was killed very early on in the war. Date 14th September 1914. I would like to find out what the casualties were on that date if possible I believe it was the battle of Aisne. Regards Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadbrewer Posted 15 February , 2021 Share Posted 15 February , 2021 Although the date and address are wrong, this seems to be him. His brother Robert was No.16393, and killed in November 1915. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 15 February , 2021 Admin Share Posted 15 February , 2021 A good book is Fifteen Rounds A Minute edited by JM Craster. You are right, it is the battle of the Aisne. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
