  Pte. Rowland Hollington 24th (1st Tyneside Irish) Btn. Northumberland Fusiliers (d.1st Jul 1916)

I have discovered that my Great Uncle, Rowland Hollington died with many others during the Battle of the Somme. We have always known of my Great grandfather who survived the Somme in the Grimsby Chums, but not his brother, who joined the Tyneside Irish from a Cyclist Regiment and is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial.
