Hi all,
I have done some research on a realative of mine L/Cpl Harry Harman and have got this from the WG Commission:

(Sorry for spamming all that :P )
I am trying to find out more detailed information about him. I bought 'The Story of the 5th battalion, The East Yorkshire Regiment TA' byt L.M. Garwood there was not much information in here.
It did say that the attack on Tilly sur Suelles started on the 14th June, yet the information i found says he died on the 11th.
Does anyone know where i can get more detailed information?
thanks,
Robert
