Pte. Henry Ree
British Army 7th Btn. Kings Shropshire Light Infantry
from:Yarkhill, Herefordshire
(d.30th Mar 1918)
Henry Ree died of wounds on 30th of March 1918 and was finally interred in Sauchy Cauchy Cemetery.
I have been endeavouring to establish where he was located when he was wounded. So far, the best I have been able to establish is that Henry was probably wounded during the period 21st to 28th of March 1918 when the 7th Battalion, according to the War Diary, suffered 174 wounded ORs.
During this period the Unit was located near Heninel. Given the proximity of Sauchy Cauchy to Heninel it appears probable, assuming Henry was with the 7th, he was one of the 174.
Henry was 25 years old when he died and is remembered in the churches at Stoke Edith and Yarkhill in Herefordshire.
