Request for images of Northumberland Fusiliers 1st World War

On the 16th June 1915 the 1st Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers went into battle at Bellewaarde, Ypres, Belgium. My Great Uncle, age 19 was killed in action on that day.

I started to look into what happened and found information of many casualties. The battle was particularly fearce.

I have decided to build a website dedicated to ALL the men of 1st Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers and to tell their story of the 16th June 1915.

To be able to help people fully understand in detail the full horrors, I need to tell the individual soldiers story and if possible a picture that will put a human face on it.

I have attached a full list of deaths due to this action which may help you.

Now here is the tricky bit: Do you have a relation who served in the 1st battalion Northumberland Fusiliers between 1914 and the end of 1915 (I need to find those that died and survived. Do you have a picture and/or a story that can be added to the dedication of these very brave men. I would be very pleased to hear from you.
