206787 Sgt. Ben Smales British Army 2nd Btn. King's Royal Rifle Corps from:25 Minnie Street, Wolsley Road, Leeds (d.17th Sept 1914) Sgt. Ben Smales was my great uncle, and we are presently trying to establish the exact location of his death so we can visit the area and pay our respects. All we know is that he was killed by German Artillary during the First Battle of the Aisne and has no known grave. His name is carved on the Memorial at La Ferte sous Jouarre. If anyone could help us locate the location of his death, it would be greatly appreciated, and any other details about him would be appreciated too. We know the area of the battlefield but its closer locations within it we are trying to establish.
