223845 Pte Herbert Wragg British Army from:Dewsbury (d.1st July 1916) We are anxious to trace this soldier who died on the first day of the Somme. Herbert Wragg was originally from the Castleford area but moved to Dewsbury when his father relocated in 1913 because of his job (coal miner). Herbert was married in 1908 to Dora Colley, they had one child, William called after paternal father, who died c.1912 aged one year. There is an intimation of his death on 1st July published in the Dewsbury Reporter but no other records of his death seem to exist, his father, William continued to publish an in Memoriam in the Reporter for several years after the event.
