220858 Rflmn. Roland Cecil Barratt British Army 17th Btn. London Regiment from:Hackney London (d.29th May 1915) My grandfather, Roland Cecil Barratt, is buried at Woburn Abbey Cemetery, Cuinchy, France. He was killed on the 28th May 1915. Leaving a wife and two sons aged 6 and 9. Their mother re-married and died in child birth within a year of his demise and as the two boys were so young, never really knew what had happened to their father. I never found out what had happened until 2004 and discovered his grave in France. Unfortunately, by then my father and my uncle had died. So they never really knew what had happened to their father. I estimate that he has approximately 27 descendants I have written to them and given them this account of their history. I am so pleased to have found him, after him having been forgotten for 90 years. I just wish that I had a photograph of him.
