Private Albert Dale - Fromelles

[chana]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help with information on a relative who died at Fromelles in 1916.
His name was Albert Dale, he was born in 1895 in Rusper, Sussex and died 19/07/1916 in Fromelles, France.
He was in the 2nd/6th Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. His army number was 6066.
I believe his name is on the Loos Memorial.

I was recently reading an article in my local paper that my grandfather spotted.  As we have the name Dale in our family tree, he asked me to do some searching as to the family of this man. It turned out Albert Dale was the brother of my great grandfather.

I have emailed the address that was in the newspaper/on the Fromelles website, and am hoping to hear back soon.

Thanks in advance,
Hannah

I am interested in finding out as much as possible about Albert Dale and his regiment.

There's the same difference in age between James and his wife Emma as there was in 1901 with his wife Emily.  I wonder if it's the same person (Emma/Emily) or whether he's been married twice.

I'm inclined to believe it's a mistake in the 1901 with her name
