Sgt. John Henry Philips

British Army

from:18 Church Road, Woolston, Southampton

(d.6th Sep 1916 )

I believe that my grandfather, Serjeant John Henry Philips, who died in the 2nd battle of the Somme at BazantinRidge, rescued several injured and stranded comrades in no man's land whilst being under fire. I also believe that he was killed in the final run to rescue comrades. We know he was injured in the head when he was climbing out of the trench with his head above the parapet.

I would love to know more about this man, ie what type of regiment he was in. I believe that my grandfather was an existing soldier prior to the start of WW1.
