219783 Cpl. Bernard Alfred Mossop British Army 10th Battalion Gloucestershire Regiment from:Smethwick (d.11th October 1915) I am researching my husband's great great uncle who was killed in Action - we think in France.
If anyone has any information on where the Gloucesters were on 11th October 1915, I would love to hear from them so that we can start to build up a picture of his history.
