peter-t Posted 27 November , 2005 Share Posted 27 November , 2005 I am researching my family history and would be interested to find out the actual position in the line of the 1st Battalion East Lancashire Regiment on 1st July 1916. A rather distant relative was KIA that day and became one of the missing commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
