sugerand Posted 7 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 7 December , 2005 From SDGW Born Halifax Enlisted York KIA All The Best Chris Thanks Chris. I am new to the forum and just wondered how you found this information. I dont suppose you know the date of his enlistment or where he was fighting at the time of his death. John is a relative of my husband but I am also researching my Great Uncle Frank Bowe of the 1/7 Bn of the West Yorkshires. I have quite a lot of info on him but do not know where he enlisted and what date. Unfortunately he was KIA at Passchendale in 1917. Thanks for your help.

Sue Sue the info is from "soldiers died great war" & unfortunately does not have dates of enlistment. As for his place of death is suggest you post something in the Units & Formations part of the Forum All The Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
