BERLAIMONT Communal Cemetery Extension (Nord France)

Pte William Ernest Green 1898 - 15/07/1918
for his great niece Theresa Mills
Cpl Allen Lee 18/06/1888 - 21/07/1918
He left a widow, Lily Lee of 37 Round St, West Bowling, Bradford.
and a daughter, Mary, died at Christmas 2014, having just reached the age of 100 years.
There is no surviving family.
He was originally a member of the Bradford Pals (16th West Yorkshire Regt) and joined up in 09/1914.
In the photograph he is wearing their original dark blue uniforms as there was a shortage of khaki.
He was wounded on the first day of the Battle of the Somme at Serre on 01/07/1916.
The 16th West Yorks disbanded in 02/1918 and the soldiers left were incorporated into the 15/17th West Yorks.
He was captured on 27/03/1918 and would have died in the nearby Grand Carriere Lager at Berlaimont.
The news of his death was only sent from Geneva on 09/11/1918 to his wife and she would have received this tragic news soon after the announcement of the Armistice when all around her would have been celebrating.
This would have been heartbreaking beyond belief.
for David Whithorn
