218314 Pte. Edward Hall British Army 8th Battalion Kings Own Royal Lancashire from:19 Froom St, Chorley (d.15th Aug 1916) Pte. Edward Hall who was my Great-Uncle served with the 8th Battalion of the King’s Own Royal Lancaster Regiment during WW1 and was killed in action on 15th August 1915. We think it was at Talus Boise as the Regiment was attacked there on that day. His regimental number was 16584 so he would probably have volunteered in December 1914. He left a widow and two children. Before joining up he worked at the Bleach Works Chorley. As his body was never found he is commemorated on the Thiepval Monument on the Somme. We visited there in 2012 and found his name on the Monument and also in the book of remembrance. I have since sent a photograph of Edward to be included in the Wall of photographs at the Thiepval Museum which commemorates the brave soldiers who lost their lives.
