matthew lucas Posted 10 January , 2008 Share Posted 10 January , 2008 re the kings own soldier found at serre, i am a relative of one of the missing from the battalion on 1 july 1916, and was there when the body at serre was found, as far as i am aware from people involved with the project, i am the only person to come foward. there is a chance that he is my relative, 3051 pte matthew lowe 1/kings own. my relative was a reservist, so could well have served in the channel islands prior to the war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Brown Posted 14 March , 2008 Share Posted 14 March , 2008 Afternoon All Sorry, I've not been on for a while. Thank you Matthew for the picture and reminding us that your ancestor may be the may in question. Pals may be interested to know that the Heidenkopf excavation, including the discussions of the bodies, appears in the current volume of Journal of Conflict Archaeology, published by Brill. It's a joint paper by myself and Alastair Fraser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

embra Posted 20 January , 2009 Share Posted 20 January , 2009 Matt, I saw the condition of the photo you had, and took the liberty of improving it a bit - it's not perfect, but you can see more of your relative. Brendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew lucas Posted 18 February , 2009 Share Posted 18 February , 2009 am just starting to write a piece about him for Stand To! and about the possability of the unkown soldier found at Serre being him, not that we'll know now, but still a fascinating story. His service record which survives is increadably interesting, he had 28 days FP number 1 in Feb 1915, arrested in Manchester in nov 1915 for being awol. Lots of letters from his wife when he was reported missing on 1-7-16, and what an effect it had on his wife and 5 children (a 6th child Tom ended up DOW at ypres in 1918) letters from his brother as a Sgt Major likewise asking about his wareabouts ect. Keep an eye out for it, but may be awhile yet before its in print Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
