mrs shorty Posted 10 September , 2006 Author Share Posted 10 September , 2006 Thanks for that. I have had a look and found that he was in the 11th division but as no battles were taking place at that time i'm intrigued as to how he died any clues?

HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 10 September , 2006 Share Posted 10 September , 2006 You often find odd men picked off by snipers or hit by shell bursts when nothing else was apparently happening,usually when on trench digging or victuals collections etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
