I am about to lead a school visit to the battlefields. One of the participants has obtained the following info about a relative. I wonder if anyone who has access to "Soldiers Died ..." or to Ancestry records can help with any further info?
An interesting one given the man's age and the fact that, as a farrier, one might imagine that much of his work would have been done well behind the lines?
Also very topical , giventhe publicity over "War Horse".
