Rachael Posted 13 April , 2021 Share Posted 13 April , 2021 I have a silk postcard sent by Sergeant Gordon lemuel Dell who was based with the RAMC 6th General Hospital in WW1. On 23 May 1918 he was killed in action. 3 others were killed in action on the same day from 6th General Hospital RAMC and are buried in St Omer. They are Capt Edward John Eliot, Private John Smith, Lance Corporal Harry Farley. I have checked national archives for a war diary, looked on Ancestry, and Find My Past but was unable to find anything about the incident. It struck me as unusual that 4 men from the RAMC should be killed in action on the same day but of course I could be very wrong on that. Any ideas on where else I could look to try and find out what happened to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 13 April , 2021 Share Posted 13 April , 2021 Rachel, There was bombing of the St Omer Hospitals that day. References are to 10th Stationary Hospital. The Scarlet finders site here has some info. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
