259852 Gnr. Albert Dransfield British Army 107th Brigade, B Bty. Royal Field Artillery from:Delph, Lancs (d.1st May 1918) Albert Dransfield is my great uncle on my mother's side. The family was originally from Saddleworth, Yorkshire. Albert served in B Battery, 107th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery. He was 20 when he died of wounds on 1st of May 1918. He is buried in the Boulogne Eastern Cemetery. I intend visiting his grave in 2020. Albert's family emigrated to New Zealand soon after World War One. I hold Albert's "Dead Man's Penny" but do not know the whereabouts of his medals. I have researched in detail my paternal grandfather's, George Victor Lynex, NZ Rifle Brigade World War One service and have twice visited Europe (from New Zealand) to follow in his footsteps. My wife's great uncle, Percy Feierabend served with 2nd Battalion, Auckland Regiment NZEF was killed on 13th of April 1918 and is buried in the Hedauville Communal Cemetery. Like Albert, Percy was killed during the German Spring Offensive of March-April 1918. My wife and I have visited his grave twice in recent years.
