Pte. Thomas Henry Hopkins

British Army 2/7th Btn. Sherwood Foresters

from:Breadsall, Derbyshire

(d.26th Sep 1917)

Henry Hopkins was my great uncle on my mother's side of the family. He was killed in action on 26th of September 1917 during the attack on Polygon Wood during the Third Battle of Ypres, probably somewhere near Saint Julien. He died during the day when, reputedly, the Germans fired their biggest barrage of WW1 - 1.6 million shells I believe. He is buried in Wieltje Farm Cemetery on the outskirts of Ypres.
