Royal Irish Fusiliers

[mmm45]

Hi

Can anyone give me some information on a RIF rank KIA at LESBOUEFS on 12th Oct 1916

He was Lt Eustace Emile Hyde from West Yorkshire.I think he lost his brother on July 1st 1916 at Serre.

He was a musketry instructor with the Royal Irish Fusiliers.

Thanks

Ady
