L/Cpl. Albert Barber

British Army 10th Btn. York & Lancaster Regiment

from:Sheffield, Yorkshire

(d.12th Oct 1917)

My uncle, Albert Barber, served in the 10th Battalion Yorks & Lancs during the great war. He was serving in Ypres when he was killed on the 12th October 1917.

He was moved from his initial burial place and interned in the Hooge Crater War Cemetery in Ypres. I have the original letter from the War Office giving his location in that cemetery. I can't find out where he was killed or originally buried except that he was not in action at the time of his death. He was 21, married and had baby daughter. Can anyone help? My father Frederick Trueman also served in the Yorks & Lancs during the Great War but survived. They both came from Sheffield, Yorkshire.
