Zeebrugge Raid - Casualties
« on: Tuesday 21 July 09 13:42 BST (UK) »
Hi
Just a quickie asking for guidance in finding out more about my great great uncle
- Lieutenant Commander Harry Barge
 (b. circa 1885, son of Henry Barge, JP and Mayor of Poplar, London) who "succumbed to illness contracted in the epoch-making raid on Zeebrugge in the Great War" source: newspaper 1932.  What sort of illness might he have contracted I wonder!
I'm in the middle of reading Warner's book on the subject but it doesn't make mention of him as a casualty.

Cheers!

Waring, Marshall, Cole, Baxter and Waller
