My great granddad, Arthur Barnes lived all his life in Battersea in the Nine Elms area married to his wife Eliza. He was a labourer and a rag & bone man before joining the 16th Battalion, The Rifle Brigade.
He fought in Belgium and died during the Battle of Pilckem Ridge on 31st of July 1917. He is buried in the New Irish Cemetery, St Julien, Ypres. I am trying to find out as much detail as I can.
