Reckitts' Magazine Apr 1915
« on: Tuesday 06 June 06 20:13 BST (UK) »
I have a photocopy of the double page spread that includes the photo of my great uncle Arthur, KIA in April 1915. Others may be interested in what else is on that double page. It includes a picture of Pte J R Bowden 4th E Yorks Reg, also KIA and short pieces from the front from the following:

Pte H Thacckery, Pte A Bell, Pte C Cooper, Pte J Hopkinson, Pte J Sanderson, Sapper J Spruit, Pte C Bratley and Pte D Laing (partial). Thackery, Cooper, Hopkinson, Sanderson and Laing were all with 4th E Yorks Reg, not sure about the others.

If anyone recognises any of these names and would like more info, please let me know. I'll happily transcribe individual entries which (FYI) are typically of 50-200 words and quite interesting in themselves.
E Yorks - Carver, Steels, Cross, Maltby, Whiting, Moor, Laybourn
W Yorks - Wilkinson, Kershaw, Rawnsley, Shaw
Norfolk - Carver, Dowson
Cheshire - Berry, Cooper
Lincs - Berry
London/Ireland/Scotland/Lincs - Sullivan
Northumberland/Durham - Nicholson, Cuthbert, Turner, Robertson
Berks - May
Beds - Brownell
