Pte. Daniel Reed
British Army 6th Btn. Leicestershire Regiment
from:Melton Mowbray
(d.17th July 1916)
Daniel Reed was my Grandmother's brother, born in the village of Twyford, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire. Research tells me he enlisted in Loughborough and served with the 6th Battalion, Leicestershire Regiment.
He lost his life in France on 17th of July 1916, aged 32 yrs and is listed on The Theipval Memorial in France.
At the end of WW1, Daniel's wife and his two children emigrated to Canada.
I have photographs of soldiers from this time but unfortunately I cannot identify Daniel.
