256099 Rfmn. Harold Emmens British Army 9th Btn. B Coy. Rifle Brigade from:Hulme, Manchester (d.8th Sep 1917) Harold Emmens was married to my Great Grandmother, Mary Ann. He was a Lewis Gunner with B Company, 9th Rifle Brigade, and was in the front line on the 8th of September 1917 near Warneton, on the left flank near Cannon Corner. Harold was the only casualty that day for his battalion, yet his body was never recovered. He is remembered with honour on the Tyne Cot Memorial. After the war, his widow married William Holland, my Great Grandfather, who was tragically killed in the Appleford rail disaster in 1942. Without Harold's death, I would have no life.
