Benny Reeve 1883 Norwich Norfolk

[Mollyrobz]

I'm looking for info on Benjamin William Reeve, also known as 'Benny Reeve'. He was born March 1883 in Norwich, Norfolk. I've found him on freebmd and have ordered his birth cert but I'm trying to find anything out in the mean time. He married Eva Gymer in Ipswich 1905 and he died sadly, in Mesoparamia which I believe is Iraq? In 1916. Any info on him would be amazing as I don't know anything about him, he was my great great grandfather

Hi Mollyrobz,

I think this could be him on the CWGC website: http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/629941/REEVE,%20W%20B

He was a Private in the 2nd Battalion, The Norfolk Regiment, Regimental number 3/10093. He died on 12th April 1916 & is buried in Amara War Cemetery in Iraq.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

David
