Requires further checks but pretty sure. Name: BRASSINGTON, THOMAS Initials: T Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Corporal Regiment/Service: Lancashire Fusiliers Unit Text: 15th Bn. Age: 38 Date of Death: 01/07/1916 Service No: 10852 Additional information: Husband of Eva Brassington. Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: Pier and Face 3 C and 3 D. Memorial: THIEPVAL MEMORIAL 15th (Service) Battalion (1st Salford), The Lancashire Fusiliers, famously known as the 1st Salford "Pals‟. The 1st July 1916 (first day of the Somme), a black day in Salford's history. On 1st July the "Pals‟ had attacked in front of Thiepval, suffering 470 casualties from the 624 who attacked. Men from "B‟ and "C‟ Companies of the 2nd Salford "Pals‟ were ordered up to support them, but were forced back by machine-gun fire, and lost over 200 men. The 3rd Salford "Pals‟ also suffered badly from machine-gun fire as they moved up to the front on the same day. I visited the battlefield in September. It is heart-breaking to see the hill they had to walk up towards the German machine guns.
