Pte. Thomas Henry Shillingford

British Army 13th Btn. D Coy. Essex Regiment

from:Bethnal Green

(d.30th July 1916.)

My great uncle, Thomas Henry Shillingford of D company, 13th battalion Essex Regiment (West Ham Boys) was killed at the battle of the Somme on the 30th of July 1916. He is remembered at the Thiepval Memorial and I intend to visit the area and would like to know were he actually fell. Is there anybody who can help me in pin point where he might have been on the day he was killed? I have tried many websites but nothing seems to match his regiments whereabouts on that day. I can only guess it might have been at the battle for High Wood but I really am stumped on this one.
