Hi, among the people that I am rooting through is Private 30639 Frank Shutler. He was with the 1 / 4th Loyal North Lancashire Regiment and was K.I.A. on the 13/09/1918. We believe that he was moved to the Manchesters at some point. Is anyone able to assist in this search?

Peter,
Sorry if my post was misleading. I do not have a picture. I meant to say that the article published in the MEN may show a picture of Frank.

Ah, I see. At this time of night I tend to interpret things through a red mist (of Cote de Rhone) Thank you so much though for pointing us in the right direction. 'Tis time for another glass. Bon Nuit
