Francis Reginald Meek 1890-1917 (General)
I would be interested in any information relating to my gg uncle Francis Reginald Meek who was killed 13/06/1917 serving with the 171st Tunnelling Company. He was son to Beriah and Jane Meek ,Ruardean, and brother to CHJ Meek who was also killed in WW1. I am contributing to an article on brothers who were killed in the Great War and any details would be welcome.
many thanks
