247104 Pte. Harry Summerscales British Army 886th Mechanical Transport Coy. Army Service Corps from:Rettford, Notts (d.11th October 1917) Harry Summerscales died on the 11th of October 1917, aged 32 serving with the 886th Mechanical Transport Coy. Army Service Corps attached to 174th Siege Brigade, Royal Garrison Artillery. He was th son of William and Elizabeth Summerscales of Shaw Cross, Dewsbury, Yorks and husband of Rose Summerscales of 17 Savile St., Retford, Notts. Harry was my grandmother's brother and I recall a sad story as a youngster she told me about the last time she saw him was on home leave before he went back to Belgium where he perished in the Battle of Passchendaele. Passchendaele or 3rd Ypres was a terrible battle and was second only to the Somme in the impact it had on the civilians back home who lost fathers, brothers and sons.
