235561 Pte. Ernest Cordes Didsbury British Army 15th Btn. Durham Light Infantry from:Preston, North Shields, Northumberland (d.24th Aug 1918) While researching The Didsbury family I noticed the relative - Ernest Didsbury. He was only 16 years 10 months old when he signed up, although he stated he was 17 years 10 months. After training he was passed fit for overseas on 11th June 1918. He died two months later on the Western Front. He was 5'4 3/4", 112 lbs, golden hair, blue eyes, fresh complexion and in good physical development. He was vaccinated on 5th November 1917 - could you tell me what for? He is buried in an unmarked grave at Regina Trench Cemetery, Grandcourt, France. His father John received £4.6.11 gratuity, a letter and a photo after his death. I would be most grateful for any further information.
