Peter Bennett Posted 8 October , 2023 Author Share Posted 8 October , 2023 Thank you very much jonbem, I thank that this refutes the assertion that he died on the Somme. Do you by any chance know what particular action or battle took place on that date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
