Paul Reed Posted 7 July , 2004 Share Posted 7 July , 2004 Having recently bought a new PC, I have misplaced a few emails. Joe Devereux (Promenade) is currently working on 1st July 1916 officer casualties; could he contact me again, please? If he looks below he will remember why... I have finally found the scrap album I have which has photos and clippings of 250+ old boys of the Watsonian Grammar School who fought and died in the Great War.

BottsGreys Posted 8 July , 2004 Share Posted 8 July , 2004 PS if anyone has photos or books/ newspapers etc of men killed 27th May to 6th June 1918, I would be very interested to see them. David David: Are you interested in ORs who died on these dates or just officers? David L. Adams' book, Frome's Fallen Heroes has info on a 20th KRRC and a RE who died on May 29th and May 30th respective. It also contains some brief information on a 2nd Lt of 2nd West Yorks who was KIA May 27, '18. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
