World War One / Re: Are any of these lads your relative?
« on: Wednesday 06 January 21 05:41 GMT (UK) »
I have just seen this post. My Great Uncle is on your list
Harry Newman reg number 8042 Manchester regiment ( Canada ).
Uncle Harry was recalled at start of WW1 from Canada where he had emigrated to from England. He was an Army reservist. We know he sailed to England in 1914 when War broke out and he was active on the Western front where he was injured. He had a glass eye and we think he lost a leg / legs as this was reported in a local newspaper on his return to Canada.
Would be very grateful and hopeful to hear from you re: the album however I am aware it is some years ago when this was posted.
