208992 Pte. John McPartland British Army 11th Battalion Cheshire Regiment from:Altrincham (d.4th Sep 1916) John McPartland was my great-grandfather. I was unaware, until this week, that he had served and died in World War I. The death record I found at Ancestry.co.uk lists him as killed in action on the Western Front (France/Flanders). I know no other details, but assume from the dates that he was killed in one of the Battles of The Somme, either Guillemont or Mouquet Farm. His name is listed on the Altrincham War Memorial. There is a photograph online of unidentified members of his regiment/battalion in the trenches, and one soldier very much resembles my father, but I have no way of knowing, of course. I would appreciate anything else I could learn. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
