L/Cpl. Henry Edward Halsall
British Army 12th Btn. Kings (Liverpool) Regiment
from:101 Burscough Town Ormskirk
(d.16th Sep 1916)
My great uncle, Henry Halsall was the elder brother of my grandma Mary Pearson nee Halsall who both grew up at Lordsgate Farm in Burscough, which is down the road from the Bull and Dog in Burscough run by their cousins the Edges. Henry joined at the outbreak of the war and prior to enlisting was head gardener at Sefton House Lathom.
He was the son of John and Ellen Halsall ne Reynolds and husband of Sarah Ellen Halsall and father of two children.
I believe he was killed on 16th September 1916 at Fleurs-Coulette. If any body knows any more information or a near relative it would be great to hear from them.
