Ernest Hosier, relation of mine, has no known grave but is remembered at the Pozieres Memorial. He served with 21st Entrenching Battalion., late ‘D’ Company 10th Battalion., Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers Ernest was the son of Philip and Rose Hosier, of 5, Craddock St., Prince of Wales Rd., London; husband of Sadie J.

We, unfortunately, have been unable to track any details of the area of Coleraine where he and his wife lived and have been unable to track any details relating to his wife Sadie and what happened to her since his death in action. Any help on this would be appreciated.
