217578 Pte. John Henry Timms British Army 6th Btn. Leicestershire Regiment from:Leicestershire (d.16th Jul 1916) My Great Grandfather John Henry Timms served with the 6th Battalion Leicestershire Regiment and was killed in action on 16th July, 1916. I am trying to find where his regiment was in France when he was killed. We are trying to plan a trip to France in 2016 to visit the Somme Battlefields. I know he has no known grave but he is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial. If anyone can help us track down any info where they would have been on that date I would be so thankful or even if you could point me in the right direction for war dairies web sites etc thanks.
