6657 Private Harry Kennedy Royal Berkshire Regiment

[Malcolm Giles]

I wonder if anyone can identify please, where the Royal Berkshire Regiment was serving when Pte Kennedy died of wounds on 9th November 1914. He died in a Base Hospital at Boulogne on that date and is buried in Boulogne Eastern Cemetery . 

Thank you for any information that you are able to give me.

If he died at Boulogne, he would have been wounded a day or two earlier don’t forget. Looks like 6th November is a candidate

Thank you very much Michelle, your information is much appreciated. Just what I was looking for thank you.

It looks as though they were heavily shelled on the 4th and 5th too. So any of the 4/5/6 are candidates. The Ernest Young in my signature was wounded 6 days before he died at the base.
