171347 Company Quarter Master Charles Tancred British Army 2nd/6th Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers from:Rhodes, Lancashire (d.7th Nov 1918) I have only just found out that my great uncle Charlie, served in WW1. He joined in 1908, left the army in 1913, and re-joined in 1916 into the Lancashire Fusiliers. I have got the dates of what his Battalion did from the time they landed in Le Harve on the 26th Febuary 1917. I have never seen so much movement of a Battalion, fighting, resting , moving, fighting, one that sticks out the most is Passchendaele. He was there in all that horrible battle called the "The third Battle of Ypres", fighting all those times and surviving as well. To be told he went into hospital at Rhouen in Oct 1918 with bad flu, to eventually die of pneumonia on the 7th Nov 1918, 4 days later we all know what happened there. I feel honoured and privileged to know that these people did and had to go through, may their memory never be forgotten Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
