Pte. Robert Holmes

British Army 9th Btn., B Coy. Yorkshire Regiment (Green Howards)

from:Middlesbrough

(d.7th June 1917)

Robert Holmes was in a reserved occupation but volunteered at the age of 41. An anecdotal story is that he was ordered to retreat but elected to carry two wounded comrades back to their lines. Unfortunately, he was shot in the leg and sent to hospital, where he had his leg amputated. The hospital was shelled, killing him.
