234119 Pte Bernard Richard Lowe British Army 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards from:Manchester (d.15th Sep 1916) I am told that my Great Grandfather Bernard Lowe's army records state that he died in Mons on 15th Sept 1916 but Mons was occupied by the Germans on that date. I have been to Mons today and verified that fact. Yesterday I went to Albert on the Somme where on the 15th September 1916 there was a big offensive at Ginchy, apparently involving The Guards. I have seen Bernard's name on the monument at Thiepval. I have his picture in uniform. Editor's Note: Bernard's battalion fought at Mons in 1914, perhaps someone has confused this with his death during the Battle of the Somme?
