brummie60 Posted 18 November , 2006 Share Posted 18 November , 2006 I am trying to find out any information on this man, he was in the 10th and 11th Btns R Warwickshire Regiment. I know that he was born in Berkswell, Warwickshire and that he was Killed-in-Action on 31st May 1918. I would like to trace any relatives of him , if possible, and if at all possible I would love a photograph. Thanks, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
