247104 Pte. Harry Summerscales 886th Mechanical Transport Coy. Army Service Corps (d.11th October 1917) Harry Summerscales died on the 11th of October 1917, aged 32
serving with the 886th Mechanical Transport Coy.
Army Service Corps attached to 174th Siege Brigade,
Royal Garrison Artillery.
He was th son of William and Elizabeth Summerscales of Shaw Cross, Dewsbury, Yorks and husband of Rose Summerscales of 17 Savile St., Retford, Notts.
Harry was my grandmother's brother and I recall a sad story as a youngster she told me about the last time she saw him was on home leave before he went back to Belgium where he perished in the Battle of Passchendaele.
Passchendaele or 3rd Ypres was a terrible battle and was second only to the Somme in the impact it had on the civilians back home who lost fathers, brothers and sons.

225873 George Edward Moore 174 Siege Bty. Royal Garrison Artillery My grandfather George Edward Charles Moore was part of 174 Siege Battery. He seems to have joined up in 1916 when the government enlisted married men into the war effort. I have found a medal record card for him, but no enlistment documents. He survived the war with shrapnel wounds.
