218684 Pte. Edward Anderson British Army 20th (Tyneside Scottish) Bn. Northumberland Fusiilers (d.28th December 1916 ) Edward Anderson was my grandfather and was killed on 28th December 1916 while mending trenches in Armentieres. He was wounded on the first day of the Somme - shot in the head he did not survive. Edward originally tried to enlist in the Artillery but his doctor said he was unfit to enlist he went and enlisted in the Tynesideside Scottish. Edward was the father of three children when he enlisted and a miner. What drove him to enlist no one knows but he gave his life like many others. He may not have won any medals but he is a hero to me and I have I visited his grave at Ration Farm, La Chapelle-d'Armentieres on several occasions.
