poppy.gif Between 18- 22 October 1914 my grandad with his mates in the 1st Battalion, Cheshire Regiment, were in action near Voilaines, attempting to take La Bassee.

The following brave lads were killed in action 95 years ago today - please spare a moment to honour their memory today:

Cpl. 9428 Samuel DEAKIN

Pt. 7344 Alfred LEONARD

Pt. 9711 James POSTLETHWAITE

Sgt. 7270 John William PURCHES

The first three are commemorated with pride on the Le Touret memorial. Sgt. Puches is buried in Boulogne Eastern Cemetery.

Edward is commemorated on my (unfinished) website - see here - and I would welcome any extra information you would like to share to build the site, which is dedicated to the 1st Cheshire BEF guys. PM me if you wish.

What would you like to know

Hi Tony

I see his Records are not available on Ancestry - so presumably lost. So any details of his family and service history, when he joined up, did he serve in India etc. A photo would be both good and rare. Anything you wouldn't mind sharing on the web really.
