Pte. Harold Edmondson

British Army 7th Btn. East Lancashire Regiment

from:Colne, Lancashire

(d.7th June 1917)

Harold Edmondson was my mother's half brother. Prior to serving in Flanders he had already served in Palestine, according to the newspaper report of his death at the age of 21.

I have been told by a guide at the 'In Flanders Field Museum' in Ypres, that he and many comrades were killed when the mines which they had been laying, exploded early. All the comrades are buried in Croonaert Chapel Cemetery.
