206601 William Orr British Army 6th Inniskilling Dragoons I used to own a house in France which had an old barn attached to it. Inside I found what I understand to have been an old hand operated threshing machine made of wood upon which was clearly handwritten in green ink the words "Willie Orr, S.S.6 Inniskilling Dragoons B.E.F" I assume this soldier had stayed here on route to somewhere, the house was in a tiny village called Marant, near Montreuil-sur-Mer, Pas-de-Calais. I have tried searching through on-line records but the nearest I could match up was Pte William James Orr, 9 Bn Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers 1. 7.1916 which I found on the Memorials to the Dead website, http://thereformation.info/war3.htm on the Thiepval List but this I guess would not be him. It is interesting to think that he may have descendants who would be interested in this information.
