Trogan Posted 21 April , 2017 Share Posted 21 April , 2017 You may remember so many of you helped me a few weeks ago. I am a novice researcher with the Orange Lilies Project. We are researching soldiers to form individual profiles which will preserve their memory indefinitely at The Keep in Brighton. IThe project ends in June and I am concerned that this new soldier's memory will be ignored if I don't collect more details about him. I have been given a new soldier but hardly any details. Charles Edward Bell. ( no rank) Royal Sussex Regiment 13 th Batalian.Died 1916 3 Sep. Resided at 15 Elm Grove Brighton. Fought at Beaumont Hemal. I am completely stuck ! I can't find him on 1901 or 1911 census, or a Forces Record or on a Roll of honour! He must have a connection with The Battle of Boar's Head as this is the projects focus and his name wouldn't have been handed to me, if this was not the case! Thank you so much - if anyone can help again. Veronica Please will you offer your expertise so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
