249132 Pte. Robert Henry "Bob" Bell British Army 20th Battalion Tyneside Scottish Northumberland Fusiliers from:7 Miner's Cottage West Allotment Shiremoor (d.1st July 1916) Private Robert Henry Bell, of the 20th Battalion Tyneside Scottish, MIA on 1st July 1916. Currently searching for images of him, none we can pinpoint as him. Enlisted and was sent to Alnwick Camp in 1915, before being shipped off in 1916. He wrote back to his mother and sister often to let them know he was doing well and "in good health" however following a period there were no postcards, followed by a card from a friend which states "so sorry to hear about Bobby" a couple of months later. His mother was Hannah Wilson (formerly Bell) and his father was the late Jacob Bell, they lived in West Allotment, Shiremoor, in 7 Miner's Cottage. The name Robert is still carried through the family, as is his memory.
