Sorry, I can't help specifically with Wilfred, but I would be interested to know whether you have a relative of his living in Batley, working as a shop keeper in the 1930s/40s ?

Author: LindasFamilyTrees Surnames: Bruce Classification: military Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.yks.general/15350/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am interested in finding WW1 records relating to Wilfred Bruce's service. He was born in Batley around 1891 and died in Middlesbrough in 1952. He served in Mesopotamia, and the only information I have is that he lost an eye during his service. Any help greatly appreciated. I am waiting for a photo from another familiy member of Wilf in his WW1 uniform. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
