Pte. Arthur Lewis Cruickshank
British Army 8th Btn. King's Liverpool
from:Sherbrooke, Canada
(d.8th Aug 1916)
My great great Uncle, Arthur Cruickshank was born in Sherbrooke, Canada to an Irish mother, Louisa Kinkead. My daughters and I just visited the Thiepval Memorial in Flanders, and saw his name on the memorial.
Oddly, we have records showing that he enlisted in the US Army in 1901 and then must have joined the 8th King's for the war. He was killed in an attack on the village of Guillemont.
