L/Cpl. Horace Ancell
British Army 28th Btn (1st Artists Rifles) London Regiment
from:Box, Wiltshire
(d.27 Mar 1918)
I have just started researching my family history, and have discovered that my Grandmother married Horace Ancell in January 1918. Like so many others, Horace then went off to war and was killed on 27 March 1918. He is commemorated on the memorial at Arras, and I hope to pay my respects to him, and all the fallen, in the near future. My Grandmother remarried in 1919.
I have very little information about Lance Corporal Ancell, either as a person or as a soldier, and would appreciate any assistance in getting to know more about this man and his comrades.
