Rflm. Edward Francis Green
3rd Btn. Kings Royal Rifle Corps
from:London
(d.21st Nov 1916)
My grandfather Edward Green was posted to Salonika, Greece in late 1915. The battalion were engaged in many battles throughout 1916 but was then severely affected by an outbreak of malaria. All ill or wounded soldiers were taken to hospitals in Malta and it was there, on 21st November 1916 that he died of the disease. As Malta is very rocky and there were many casualties he was buried in the military cemetery along with two other soldiers - i.e three to a grave.
