Pte. Edward Thomas Linsley

Edward Thomas Linsley, was my Grand Uncle. I have discovered that his qualifying date for "Theatre of War" was 9th September 1915 and that he was "presumed" dead on 26th September 1915, which indicates that he was killed at the start of the action, aged 18. As he had no descendants, I would like to discover any other information about Edward between 1901 and his death, and if possible if there are any physical remembrances of his death in action, or any photos of him, so that he is not forgotten.

I have only recently found out something that has got me very interested about my great great grandfather whose body was never found until we believe recently in France. We never knew that a member of our family had been asked sometime ago to provide a DNA sample because of the remains of 15 soldiers from the 2nd Batt Yorks & Lancs had been recovered by accident due to some builders doing some work in France in Beauchamp Ligny in 2006 that would verify that the remains are of George Edward Darrington /Linton. Up to now there has been no move to go further to identify these soldiers who lost there lives for there country although there remains are kept in storage in England. Our relative never passed the information on that she had been asked for DNA so now we will not know, although the time date and area are in our favour we will never know.

A transcript of a newspaper cutting published after Jack's death. "Sergt John Lipscombe, whose home was at 21 Birling Road, Snodland, Kent is another of the Royal West Kent Regiment to fall in Palestine. He was in the Dardenelles campaign and after being invalided home with a poisoned hand, went out to Egypt over a year ago. He had written regularly to his wife and family, and described the Palestinian campaign as a very stiff one. The communications below from his Captain and CoQMS show that he died gallantly. The news of his death arrived only two days after three of his own letters. Thirty four years of age, he leaves a widow and six children, for whom the greatest sympathy is felt. He was a scholar of the British school, Snodland and was afterwards employed at Peters Cement Works. His Captain writes: "Dear Mrs Lipscombe, It is with very great regret that I have to inform you that your husband was killed in action on April 19th. He was killed in an attack on a position near Gaza and died at once. Your husband was loved and respected by all who knew him and his death is not only a great loss to my company and the Regiment but I feel that I have lost a true and good friend as well. If I can be of any assistance to you in any matter I shall be only too pleased to help you". His Co QMS writes: "You can't think how we miss him in the Company. He was always talking about you and the kiddies and you were in his thoughts always. God I trust will bear you up and you have the satisfaction of knowing he died for his country and the King."
