Pte. James Cryer
British Army 8th Battalion King's Own (Royal Lancaster) Regiment
from:Huddersfield
(d.27th September 1918)
I am at the moment researching the family history as a present for my father`s 90th birthday, his father, my grandfather (Fred Cryer) had a brother (James Cryer). I have been unable to find records for my grandfather although his story of the war is that he was captured on the same day in the same battle in which his brother James was killed on the 27th September 1918 in Flanders. I have located the cemetery in which he was laid to rest (The Lowrie Cemetery) Havrincourt. That is all I know I`m afraid, if you could provide some information about the circumstances of the battle I would be pleased to pass this on to my dad.
Many Thanks.
