Pte. Cyril Howard Nicholson CdG.

British Army 25th Battalion Machine Gun Corps

from:Huyton

(d.12th Oct 1918)

Cyril Nicholson died as a POW after being taken prisoner on 9th of April 1918 at Ploegsteert Wood, near Falk Farm. He was hospitalised and died there due to malnutrition and dysentry. I am a great niece. We have no medals for Cyril,though there is a scrap of ribbon in a brooch for the Belgian Croix de Guerre. He was reburied at Terlincthen. If you have any info we would be grateful.

His brother had joined up on 17th of August 1914 at St.Kilda Victoria, Australia with 9th Battalion, Australian Imperial Army and survived, never returning to Australia, but living at Edenvale, Tarbock Rd, Huyton, Lancs.

Should you have any info for either brother, do please pass it on as I am trying to fit their movements together. We know they had a reunion somewhere in France or Belgium. Thank you
