Good find Maureen.Got on his trail. Can't see anything that mentions a Batt. however the war diary for the 13. Batt. states;1 June 1916: Relieved by 11th Sussex. A Company moved to Cambrin Point, B to Braddell Castle, C to Cuinchy Keep, Caters Post and Tourbieres.5 June: Relieved 11th Sussex in same Cuinchy sector. A to right, D in centre, B on left. C in support in Esperanto Terrace. Patrols sent out, but fairly quiet.8 June: Relieved by 11th Sussex, moved to billets in Annequin North.So in the right place at the right time.more digging to be done.Edit:Lt. E.C. Keliher was in the 11th RSR in the trenches at Cuinchy on the 8/6/16 having been made C.O. of D Coy a few days earlier.There was activity but no mention of men going into no-mans-land on that dayThere was mention of the Germans bombing sap 16 at 11 pm. on the 8th. & getting into it but they were dispersed by their bombers.Really need to know which Batt. your man was in.found a Cpl. Christopher May RSR no.1131 is this him ?Edwin married Queenie Upson 1920 & had 3 children, 1 boy & 2 girls so must be descendants around.
