Barry - SDITGW adds that Francis Grundy was Kia, and born & enlisted at Farnworth, Lancashire. He was killed during attacks on the village of Ovillers, where little progress had been made since the beginning of the battle on July 1st 1916. On the 10th of July the 8th LN Lancs (supported by 3rd Worcesters) were trying to flank round northwards from the Albert - Bapaume road to the rear (south-east) of the village, but were repeatedly counter-attacked and driven back. SDITGW records 73 fatalities in 8th Bn on this date. regards - Tom Tulloch-Marshall WW1 Military Research website - http://www.btinternet.com/~prosearch/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: Barry To: Great War List Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2007 1:19 PM Subject: [GREATWAR] Request for SDITGW look up Greetings to all, I'm presently researching some of my ancestors who served in the British army during WW1.
