Pte. James Cryer
British Army 8th Battalion King's Own (Royal Lancaster) Regiment
from:Huddersfield
(d.27th September 1918)
I am at the moment researching the family history as a present for my father`s 90th birthday, his father, my grandfather (Fred Cryer) had a brother (James Cryer). I have been unable to find records for my grandfather although his story of the war is that he was captured on the same day in the same battle in which his brother James was killed on the 27th September 1918 in Flanders. I have located the cemetery in which he was laid to rest (The Lowrie Cemetery) Havrincourt. That is all I know I`m afraid, if you could provide some information about the circumstances of the battle I would be pleased to pass this on to my dad. Many Thanks.
Pte. James Albert Greenwood Cryer

I recently purchased a death plaque to James Cryer, from the little research I have carried out I discovered that he died on the 20th of March 1915 and is remembered at the Ploegsteert Memorial in Belgium.
Pte. Thomas Cryer
British Army 6th Btn. King's Own Scottish Borderers
from:Killinghall, Harrogate, North Yorkshire
(d.24th Mar 1918)
Thomas Cryer was the son of Jacob and Elizabeth Cryer of 25 Walkers Place, Wellington Road, New Wortley, Leeds. His brother Ernest also fell. Thomas was my great-great uncle. His date of death was found in the family bible.
When I was researching his time in WW1, I found that he was not commemorated anywhere. Discussions with the CWGC and KOSB museum failed to find him. As part of the research I went into Harrogate Library and asked if they had any information on soldiers who died in the war. On her desk was a card file and she immediately provided the 2 pictures of Thomas and one of his brother Ernest. What a coincidence! After some time we heard from the museum that they had identified the papers and will of a Thomas Craven. He had left Elizabeth Cryer as his next of kin. They and the CWGC agreed that there must have been a mistake and arranged to change the name on the memorial at Pozieres.
