Cpl. Robert Whitlock MM.

British Army 2nd Battalion Devonshire Regiment

from:Tintinhull

(d.31st October 1918)

My great grandfather Robert Whitlock died on 31st October 1918 while saving an officer. The 2nd Battalion of the Devonshire Regiment had reached the Scheldt River by then and so I am assuming that this was just after the Battle of Courtrai, which ended on 22nd October 1918. I am not sure when Robert joined up, but I am guessing he would have been at the Battle of the Bois des Buttes in May 1918, which was the 2nd Battalion's bloodiest action.
