World War One / Re: 16th June 1915 Diary & Casualty List

Thanks for your efforts. I found my grandad on your list,
He is 8937 Thomas Henderson PT, its down on the list as J but I guess that's an easy mistake.
Interestingly his army records say he was from Cleckheaton but he was actually from a small farming community in Northumberland called Kirkheaton.
I assume that back then he may have been illiterate and with his accent it could have been misconstrued as Cleckheaton.
