Sylvia Posted 27 May , 2005 Share Posted 27 May , 2005 I have my great uncle's papers which give him as gassed at Callone, France on 28th June 1916. Can anyone tell me where this is/was please? I can't find it on any maps. He later joined the Seaforth Highlanders for Home Service (presumably unfit for active service after gas), and commissioned to Labour Corps 1917, Black Sea army Sylvia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
