Post by: robert1957 on Thursday 01 December 11 19:36 GMT (UK)
hi,

I am trying to trace a Uncle of my late mum's, he was JOHN HENRY MOORES. I have come across a

John Henry Moores army no 241120 from Bolton Lancashire and that he was in the 1/5th battalion

(territorial force) and killed in action on the 30th Nov 1917 and i was wondering if there is anyone

that can help me with any other information.

Also can anyone tell me if there are photograph's of soldier's held by the armed force's that relative's

may be able to obtain


kind regard's
Bob

Hi,

Welcome to Rootschat.   :)

Have you seen his entry on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site?

Bob,

If the man Nanny Jan flagged up is your relative, the best chance of finding a photo of him is the local papers. There are no official military photos of that period.

According to SDGW, this one was born and enlisted in Bolton.
