258399 Pte. Charles Hamer British Army 6th Btn. Durham Light Infantry from:Dene Road, Low Spennymoor (d.1st Oct 1916) Charles Hamer died on 1st of October 1916 in the second phase of the Somme campaign. His name is etched onto the Thiepval memorial as he has no known grave. He died somewhere around the area of the attack on the German defences that day. This was a trench system known as Prue. The 6th Battalion fought hard that day. From what I can understand so far, their start point for the battle was in Starfish trench. I believe his body to be in that area which is north of Highwood and close to Flers.
