My great uncle, Frank Dent, served in the 8Bn, Gloucestershire Regiment, as Private 29551, enlisting in May 1916. He was the son of Joseph and Elizabeth Dent of Woodside Street, Cinderford He died of wounds on 24 July 1917, aged 33, in hospital in Boulogne and is buried in the Eastern Cemetery in Boulogne. This is a town cemetery, but has a substantial section of war graves, laid out in standard CWG style. I visited the cemetery some years ago and found his gravestone. I can't find anything about him, other than the details above, on this or other sites. He's not in the published collection of photographs of servicemen from a contemporary scrapbook [I've lost the details.] I live at a distance and don't have access to local newspapers. Can anyone help, please?
