Rifle Brigade

skylark

Proud to be a Brummie !!
Hello folks ,
have only just today found that one of my family was in the
RIFLE BRIGADE, 4th Battallion. He was killed in action 15/03/1915.
His name was CHARLES MINCHIN, Rifleman, No: Z/1293. He is
buried at Dickebusch Military Cemetary.
My request is for any info on the battle he may have killed in, plus any
extra info on this Regiment. Maybe this is one for CROMWELL ????.
Many Thanks,
Margaret.
 
Allso join the Great War Forum and post a query. There may be an expert on the Rifle Brigade or even this battalion. Someone may have the war diary.
 
There is a Minchin C listed on the Bham Roll of Honour c1925 and therefore should be in the books in the Hall of Memory. Only detail given - Rifleman, KRRC.
