eltoro1960 Posted 25 January , 2007 Share Posted 25 January , 2007 You could try this post in the war at sea section, i think this is your man. Name: REW, WILLIAM BALLANTYNE Initials: W B Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Able Seaman Regiment/Service: Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve Unit Text: Howe Bn. R.N. Div. Age: 21 Date of Death: 26/04/1917 Service No: CZ/4704 Additional information: Son of Andrew Dorward Rew and Janet Ballantyne Rew, of Moss Rd. Gates, Methven, Perth. Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: II. D. 76. Cemetery: AUBIGNY COMMUNAL CEMETERY EXTENSION Now DAMP, Defensively Armed Merchant - something beginning with P or now more likely something connected with the Drake Battalion of the RND there are a good few of them buried in this cemetery from fighting at the same time.
