Drvr. Robert Ballard

British Army 78th Brigade, C Coy. Royal Field Artillery

from:Liverpool

(d.21st July 1917)

Robert Ballard was my great uncle, brother of my paternal grandmother Alice Ballard. He was born on 29th November 1896 in Liverpool. His effects were returned to my great grandmother Charlotte Jane on 24th July 1918. Recently, I found a poem attached to a metal backing which Charlotte gave to her son to keep him safe. His death must have a profound effect on the family. Alice named her first born son Robert after her brother. He is buried in Point De Jour Miltary Cemetary, Athies.
