MParnham Posted 10 August , 2005 Share Posted 10 August , 2005 Hi Andrew I was wondering if a Second Leuitenet Cecil Hurst - Brown is mentioned anyware. He was in the 2nd O and BLI and was killed a Givenchy on 25th Sept 1915. He is my wifes great uncle, he was the second of 2 sons to be killed within 3 months of each other! The shock sent their mother (my wifes great grandmother) mad - she spent the rest of her life in mental institutions. We have some information and photo's mainly about how and when he died - but little about his life in the unit before then. Any help would be greatly appreciated Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
