Pte. Harry Rhodes

British Army 1st/8th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment

from:Leeds, West Riding.

(d.9th May 1915)

I have only recently found Harry during my ancestry research. He was my great-uncle. I know he had a job as a bottle washer at the time the First World War began. He enlisted and went to France on 16th April 1915 as a Rifleman and was killed in action on 9th May 1915. Harry has no known grave but his name is commemorated on the Ploegsteert Memorial in Belgium. I have not been able to find out if he was killed in a battle or a skirmish, though the only battle I have found that took place on the day he was killed was Aubers Ridge. I have asked family members including my father - they tell me they didn't know about Harry and have no information.
