Pte. Bertie Boosey
British Army 2nd Btn. Essex Reigiment
from:Foulness, Essex
(d.15th Apr 1915)
I am researching the circumstances of the death of my great Uncle Bertie Boosey on 15th April 1915. He served with the Essex Reigiment 2nd Battalion. We have visited his grave at Calvaire (Essex) Cemetery close to Ploegsteert in the Ypres Salient. Bertie was at least spared the first recorded Chlorine gas attack that started what became known as the 2nd battle of Ypres on 22nd April.
