Tom Morgan Posted 17 April , 2007 Share Posted 17 April , 2007 Having enjoyed searching for other people's soldiers, I've now got one of my own. "Soldiers Died....." lists 9981 Sgt. Joseph Carter, Machine Gun Corps (Infantry) Born Leeds Enlisted Middlesbrough Residence Highfield, Yorks "Died" at "Home" 11.6.17 Formerly 15533 West Yorkshire Regiment. I couldn't find him on CWGC last night, woke up refreshed this morning and tried again but no luck. Can anyone spot him? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Morgan Posted 17 April , 2007 Author Share Posted 17 April , 2007 Allie and Peter, thanks very much. I'm really grateful to you. Late last night I couldn't find him under Carter, J and I did search all the Carters who died in 1917 looking for his number but couldn't see it, though it must have been there. I must have been too bleary-eyed. An excellent result for me as I particularly wanted to know where he's buried - thanks again. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
