Picked this up yesterday, but as I`m not on Ancestry the only thing I could find out was his name Robert Brown. Any help with an ID would be great. Thanks,
Martin.

Hi Bantam,
I really must invest a few pounds in Ancestry.

Martin,
I've been researching my family history for years and that's why I'm a subscriber to Ancestry but there are so many other sites to choose from these days. Only last month I finally discovered on a military research site where my Great Uncle had been wounded in 1917 and returned to Britain to recover only for him to die of flu on the 10/11/1918. The place where he was wounded was Bourlon Wood.
