Hello,
Just happen to bump in to this forum looking up the name shackleton.

The son R A is buried in Holland but has fallen in Kessel Germany.
This i know because i lay flowers on his grave every year. Living near Kessel passing his place of dead almost every day, at the bridging site were he died by result of German artillery. The finished bailey bridge has been given his name by his fellow soldiers.

If someone could set me in contact with relatives i would be most gratefull. I'm desperatly searching for a photograph of him, giving the grave a face not only for me but also the visitors of the cementery. A face would make it more impressive and make people more aware. This as it is just a very small cementery almost forgotten on the 4th of may. Our rememberance day of the fallen.

Regards
