Pte. Richard Gribbin

British Army 8th Btn. Rifle Brigade Prince Condort's Own Regime

from:Salford, Lancashire

(d.30th July 1915)

It would appear that Richard's regiment was on the front line at the Hooge Crater near Ypres. His death is recorded as 30th July 1915 . His body was never found. Was he in the forefront of the 'Liquid Fire' used in this area on that date? Is that how he died? His name is remembered on Menin Gate.

Our family were proud to visit Menin Gate see his name and be part of the Last Post ceremony which is portrayed there every night at 8.00p.m. We definitely should 'Remember Them'
