Guest graeme gladwinfield Posted 6 October , 2003 Share Posted 6 October , 2003 Help !? My Great Uncle Charles Gladwinfield (AKA Charlie Field) is buried at the Railway dugouts burial ground. He was killed in no mans land bringing back wounded. I have just found this out ... he was shot on the 21st May 1915 I think, and died on the 22nd of May 1915 but what I would like to know is in which battle. My niaive assumption by the localle and the date, that it wouldbe something to do with Hill 60 or am I a bit late on the date. He was in the Kings Own Liverpool Rgmt. A riffleman in the 1st/6th battalion Can anyone give me any pointers on this, and where to find more info I would also like to find a freind of Charles - called Edward W Hodson I think he was the Chaplain Any clues appreciated Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Coulson Posted 6 October , 2003 Share Posted 6 October , 2003 Graeme, 1/6th Kings Liverpool were involved with the capture of Hill 60 but as you say this was earlier, 17th-22nd of April. According to my info they were still in this area in May but not classed as having taken part in any battles at this time - officially. I'm sure someone on the forum will be able to furnish some further info for you. Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
