Pte. Edward Scally

British Army 6th Btn. South Lancashire Regiment

(d.9th Apr 1916)

My relative Edward Scally was a Private in WW1. He is listed on the cenotaph at Wigan. Today via Wigan Council archives, thankfully I found he was a coal hewer trammer underground at Maypole Colliery.

Edward is the uncle of my great great grandmother. He served with the 6th Battalion, South Lancashire Regiment and was killed in action on the 9th of April 1916. He is remembered on the Basra Memorial in Iraq. He was the husband of Jane and son of Patrick and Mary He was born in Nantwich.

I have seen a photograph published when he was missing but it isn't clear enough. I am wondering if anyone can help or if they have any photographs of the battalion at the time?
