Hi All

Just found this as reported in The Times, Tuesday, Aug 16, 1910; pg. 3; Issue 39352; col D
Naval And Military Intelligence.
Category: Official Appointments and Notices.


"The funeral of Sergt. Henry Attriall, of the 67th Company of Royal Garrison Artillery, who lost his life by the gun explosion at the Spitbank Fort, Portsmouth, on Thursday last, took place with full military honours at the Highland Road Cemetery, Portsmouth.  Maj-Gen. J K Trotter, commanding the Southern Coast Defences, was present at the graveside, and all the principal officers of the Royal Garrison Artillery in the town also attended, as well as about 500 non-commissioned officers and men, all the other corps in garrison likewise sending representatives."

Thanks Sarah!

So that gives us his death date of 11th August 1910 if my brain is working...

I had a scout around GR to see if anyone was researching the family on there and a name was thrown out in the search.  I sent a brief message asking if it was the same Henry so will see if I get a reply.  Why on earth should I be so intrigued by this man?!

Regards, Emma ;)

Hey, give me credit Annie....Consultants!!

Apparently he was killed during a drill - don't ask me anything about weapons and the like, but they had rear loading cannons and during one of the drills the catch came open and the amunition fell out and exploded which killed him.  This is one of the reasons why he is still so angry - it was so preventable...
