Autumn 1916 - 13th Gloucestershire Regiment (General)
My g grandfather Charles Henry James Meek was born in Ruardean , moved to Blackwood in South Wales as a child and later enlisted in the 4th Tyneside Irish after moving to Co.Durham . Sadly he lost his life in the later stages of this campaign and as with many others has no recognised grave .I hope we will never have to experience such a waste of life again. May God rest all their souls.
