World War One / John Alfred Wardle, DLI, Killed on the Somme at Eaucourt L`abbaye
« on: Sunday 11 November 18 08:49 GMT (UK)  »
We travelled to France to track down our relative, John Alfred Wardle in 2013 .
He was a coal miner from lands near Cockfield in County Durham. We found his name on Thiepval memorial and have since traced where he was involved in an attack at Eaucourt L`Abbaye where he was killed.
We stood near the spot which is very peaceful now and hard to imagine the hell of battle at that time.
not far away is the Butt of Warlencourt that was fought over so many times and was a high point for the german machine gunners.
I would love to hear from anyone researching to piece more information together.
regards
Barry

Hi,
Leopold Henry Strickland is related to us.
His grave is located in York Cemetery and we have been to find it.
Albert (son) passed first, his Dad had money to buy a stone but when Leopold died he didnt have any money so has no stone.
If you require any further please get in touch.
Regards
Barry
