munchkin Posted 11 October , 2004 Share Posted 11 October , 2004 Hi All, One of my soldiers "Norman Fullard" 2/Lieut was killed in action 22/05/1918. I was wondering where they were on this date. And also if any of you have a photograph of the officers. According to CWGC, it states that his unit was 5th Bn attd 2nd Bn. Thanks Glynn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted 11 October , 2004 Share Posted 11 October , 2004 Hello Glynn On the 21st/22nd May 1918 the 2nd Bn were in a forward position near the village of La Cauchie. The Regimental history states: "On May 21st one of the forward posts was hit by a shell which killed 2/Lt. N.E.Riley, and two ther ransk, mortally wounding also 2/Lt. N.Fullard. The enemy was showing great activity and was expected to make an offensive. His front system had been raided at 3.a.m., and it was in retaliation for this that our front system was shelled and attacked by aeroplanes" Hope this helps Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
