257327 Pte. Charles Thomas Lancaster British Army 10th Btn. Lincolnshire Regiment from:Grimsby (d.29th April 1917) Whilst doing a single family history on my great great grandparents. I discovered that their eldest grandson Charles Lancaster was killed in WW1 and is buried in Aubigny Communal Cemetery Extension in France. I will be trying to find out more if possible.
Due to a strange turn of fate, I have related grandparents so Charles was the cousin of my maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother, neither of whom would likely have remembered him as they were very young at the time. Additional Information: | Charles Thomas Lancaster was my great uncle, my maternal grandmother Florence Blackburn nee Lancaster's eldest brother. I've been to visit his grave at Aubigny twice, once in 2001 and a second time on the 100th anniversary of his death in 2017. I also found the location, near the village of Roeux, where he was fatally wounded. I have photos, including one of Charles.
