222752 Pte. Harry Dickman British Army 16th Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers from:1 Henrietta Street, Pendlebury, Lancashire (d.30th Jul 1916) I chose to commemorate Private Harry Dickman, whom I randomly selected from the Royal British Legion website. Although I am a Dickman and my great grandmother was from Lancashire, Harry was not a relative. However, I wanted to find out more information about him. Harry was born in 1889 in Openshaw, Manchester, and was married in about 1910 to Jemima. They had a little girl called Gladys who would have been born in about January 1911. At the time of the 1911 census Henry, Jemima and little Gladys were boarding at the home of John and Eliza Ann Shepherd at No. 1 Henrietta Street in Pendlebury, Lancashire. Harry joined the 16th Battalion of the Lancashire Fusiliers and was killed in action on 30th July 1916. As his body was never found, his name is listed and commemorated on the Loos Memorial in France.
