Joseph's Story
I have a letter sent to his mother , dated 13th July 1917, asking after everybody . No word from his brother George who also served in the war . But sadly Joseph was killed on the 22nd July 1917 just a few days from posting his last letter home.
I have found out that he was buried in a make shift grave ,but after a few days the germans blew it up. He is now buried in a mass grave called the Perth Cemetery (China Wall) Belgium.
I would like to know where he sadly died.
Sorry for taking so long to trace you. Thank you.
