209371 Pte. Joseph James Burgess British Army 6th Btn. Royal Berkshire Regiment from:Reading (d.17th Feb 1917) After my father died in 2010, as an only child I had the task of clearing his bungalow. I found a lot of family history including information about my great uncle Joseph Burgess, his medals death plaque and marriage certificate. I have since found out he is remembered at the Thiepval memorial in France.My husband and I went to France and found my uncle on the memorial. I found it very moving as, until my father died, I never knew of Joseph. He is now remembered along with his brother Alfred my Great Grandfather who was also fighting in France but survived.
