Paul Reed Posted 13 March , 2005 Share Posted 13 March , 2005 He was killed when the 2nd Bn attacked the ground near the Cinder Track at Richebourg l'Avoue, as part as the Battle of Aubers Ridge. They suffered heavy casualties that day; most of them are also on the Le Touret Memorial. There is a bit more about the Royal Sussex on my website: http://battlefields1418.50megs.com/royalsussex.htm Below is a photo taken last year showing the area of the Cinder Track as it is today.
