225170 Rifleman. Ernest Robert Reid British Army 8th (Post Office Rifles) Btn. London Regiment from:15 Princes St, Londonderry (d.7th Nov 1916) Whilst researching my Irish ancestry I discovered that my gran's uncle Robert Reid, died on service during WW1. He was a post office manager in Londonderry and is buried in Wiltshire. He was forty three I believe and I guess must have volunteered. He was in the postal service from a young age and worked his way to manager, this was quite a different career to the others in the family who were shirt factory specialists and managers. As yet we do not know if he was wounded and taken to England where he died in hospital or had contracted an illness. He is buried in St John's churchyard Sutton Veny in Wiltshire. We know the date of death but not when his injury/illness occurred and it would be wonderful to find out. does anyone know how to find this out?
