Pte. Roy Walter Mennell
British Army 10th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment
from:York
(d.2nd Nov 1916)
The 10th West Yorks captured the Zenith Trench at Le Transloy Village on 1st November. My great uncle, Roy Mennell was killed the following day probably as a result of rifle, machine gun or artillery fire during daily routine as there were no recorded planned attacks on that day.
I am taking my daughter to the Thiepval Memorial this year to remember Roy Mennell on the 100th anniversary of his death.
