[patte62]

Dear All,

 

To complete some research files into the Project "The Passchendaele Archives" for some Families of Soldiers killed in action during this 3th Battle.

 

I'm looking for Pictures of those Soldiers in Uniform, some have been passed on by the Family, but others don't have any Pictures of their Relatifs, so if this can be a source, please let me know.  Other intel or Pictures about those soldiers are also welcome.

Patrick,

I cannot see any connections with Salford for any of the men you have listed. I will leave your post on the forum in the hope that someone may have images or information.

I would post an appeal for the two Manchester Regiment men on the excellent Manchester Regiment Forum

Good luck.

Thanks Shred,

In my research I didn't also found any connection with the Salford Community, but like you say let's hope someone can help me find out.  Many thanks for adding the 2 Manchester Pals on the excellent. 

You're doing great work for the Family, with this honour of the Men from Salford and further on the Manchester Regiment.  If you need any Picture of the Headstone of the fallen guys from Salford, let me know on wich Cemetery or Memorial they are Remembered.  I can go any time to one of those Cemeteries and I've also an archive of about 45.000 Pictures, included the most of the Headstones of the 'Manchester Regiment Pals'.

Hi Patrick, I have a picture of acting bombadier Edward Symonds, as he is my great uncle and I'm starting to research that side of the family.
