Gnr. Harry Oliver

British Army B Battery, 122nd Brigade Royal Field Artillery

from:Goldthorpe, Yorkshire

(d.23rd Oct 1918)

My grandmother talked fondly of her brother Harry Oliver. He died on the 23 Oct 1918, just a mere 19 days before the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I. He was 24 years old. It is likely that he died in the final advance in Picardy (Battle of the Selle) with the 38th (Welsh) Division, and he is buried in the Montay-Neuvilly Road Cemetery, Montay, France. There are 470 Commonwealth burials and commemorations of the First World War in this cemetery. All fell in the period October or November 1918.
