219393 Pte. William Pannell British Army Royal Sussex Regiment (d.30th Jun 1916) One Sunday when trying to entertain my wife's elderly grandfather, who spoke a lot of WW2, we asked whether he would like to look at the CWGC website to look for any relatives. To our great surprise we found a member of our family Pte. William Pannell who served with the Royal Sussex Regiment and died on the 30th June 1916. Then shockingly we found two more of his brothers who also died on the same day! This was in the battle of the Boars Head when many Sussex lads died, it was reported that "this was the day Sussex died"! This was the worst loss of life in one family, that we are aware of. We have no information on any of these boys, pictures etc, we don't even know the ages of two of them.
