Guest sweetpea Posted 14 June , 2009 Share Posted 14 June , 2009 Dear Thomas I have just returned from a visit to the First World War battlefields, including a visit to Tiepval memorial where my Great Uncle Willam Edward Gianone is remembered. We would appreciate any information that you may have with reference to my Great Uncle and the battle of Le Transloy Ridge. Thanking you, Ann Luscombe and John Storer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fair Posted 25 June , 2009 Share Posted 25 June , 2009 Ann - I missed your post as I have been off the forum for a few weeks. The 19th London Old Comrades is still going strong and we would like to hear from you. Do you know anything about your gt-uncle? Was he of Italian ancestry? Your great uncle would probably have been killed in the trench fighting in the Flers line a little south of Eaucourt L'Abbaye. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Charles sorry for not replying earlier, I haven't been onto the site for a long time. Thankyou for your reply with information re. my Great Uncle William E Gianone. Yes he was of Swiss Italian decent ie. his mother was English but his father was Swiss from Ticino, he came to England as a young man. There was not only William but another son Constant who was in the London Regiment (6th City of London Rifles). His service details Rifleman No 2330 joined September 3rd 1914, Killed September 25th 1915 Battle of Loos. He is buried with 86 others ie. 86 other ranks and/ Officers somewhere in the Maroc Cemetry, Grenay. Special memorial 21. 87 Stones in one line each named but stating the remains are not with the memorial stone. We were told that the 87 were most likely buried altogether before the actual cemetary was erected. Another brother Ernest survived. Look forward to hearing from you Regards Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
