  Sig2. Norman Launcelot Rowland 2/12th (2nd Rangers) Btn. London Regiment

Norman Rowland returned from Brisbane in 1915 to join up aged 30 and survived the war, although his brother Frank died on the Royal Edward on the way to Gallipoli. Out of six brothers luckily only one died during the war.

I have just learnt today that Corporal Albert James Barrett was my Great Uncle and I'm so very proud of him. Godbless.

  L/Cpl. C. W. Hunt 2nd/12th (The Rangers) Btn. London Regiment (d.23rd May 1917)

I found mention of Lance Corporal Hunt 2nd/12th Battalion, London Regiment in France at Mory Abbey Military Cemetery, Mory. I was researching my grandmother's brother, Rifleman Herbert William Alland of 2nd/12th London Rangers, who was killed that same day. They must have known each other. I also found that 471880 Rifleman Arthur Charles Foulsham and 471845 Rifleman Wilfrid Leslie Bradley of 2nd/12th London Regiment also died that same day, presumably in the same action at Arras.
