L/Cpl. Robert John Anstiss
British Army 9th Btn. Devonshire Regiment
from:Ivybridge, Devon
(d.6th September 1916)
I know little about Robert Anstiss apart from the fact that his grandmother was my great grandmother.
Robert was born in Ivybridge, Devon to Robert and Elizabeth Jane Anstiss. Robert had a younger brother Frederick who was born in 1901.
Robert was killed in action at Ginchy on 6th of September 1916, aged 25. So very young.
In 2013 I visited his grave in Delville Wood Cemetery, Longueval, France.
