Thanks for your e-mail Katherine,
Unfortunately I have tried that, for
THOMAS EDWARD FISHBOURNE
Private 15524 1st/5th Bn., Cheshire Regiment
who died on Thursday, 21st September 1916. Age 19.
Only son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Fishbourne, of Dany Park, Crickhowell,
Breconshire.
Commemorative Information
Memorial: THIEPVAL MEMORIAL, Somme, France
But he should be mentioned on a War Memorial on a town where he lived - I
have looked at the one in Crickhowell, but he is not mentioned on that, so
I
thought he must be on one somewhere around Hay or Hereford.
Thanks again,
Sue

Hi Sue
I have found my grandfathers brother's, who fought alongside him in WW1,
Donald Osmond survived the Somme, four of his brothers did not. If you go
to
www.cwgc.org and search your family name it will tell you when and
where
he
died, and the war memorial that his name is on. They will tell you
exactly
the stone number on the war memorial.
I have info about one of my great-uncles - I have the name of the ship and
where it was torpedoed - another unknown grave but he is remembered on a
war
memorial in Belgium as well as England.
They will also tell you about the battle he took part and died in.
I am told the Queen wrote to my great-grandmother thanking her for her
many
son's that fought for Queen and Country. It must have been such a
sad loss
for her.
Hope this is of help
Regards
Kathrine
