Hello Everyone

Could someone with access to the SDGW cd please do lookups for the following two lads,

L/Cpl Percy Daughtry, 38414, 1st Bn Northumberland Fusiliers (my GGrandfathers first cousin)

died 28th March 1918

Rifleman Arthur Glew, 48280, 13th Bn Rifle Brigade died 25th August, 1918. (GGreat Uncle)

Any info regarding what action these men may have been involved in at the time of death will be gratefully received.

Best regards

Andy

Hello Simon

Thanks very much for the look up.

It seems that the army was unable to spell DAUGHTRY. My GGrandfather Sam Daughtry Riding is shown on the CWGC as Samuel Dougherty Riding.

Could you tell me what KIA F&F means.

Many thanks again,

Andy Riding
