(d.30th Nov 1917)

Edward Makinson served in the Kings Own Royal Lancaster Regiment, 5th Battalion he went to France but was injured in April 1915 and went back in as Major Atkinson's Batman. He was killed 30th Nov 1917 but no body was found, we believe parts of his body lie with in a grave at Bourlon Wood. His name is on the memorial panel at Cambria and his name is also on the Kings Own Royal Lancaster Regiment Panel at Lancaster.

Additional Information:

I was in Cambrai in May 2016 and found that someone had laid a small wooden cross in Bourlon Wood for Edward near to the Bourlon Canadian Cemetery. I have a picture of it.
