I am trying to establish whether the Oliver George Eccleshall, who was killed in 1915 while fighting in the Great War was my mother's uncle. She had never heard of him till I started researching our family tree on "Ancestry". The military records don't give a date of birth and the memorial at Loos lists the soldier's age as being unknown ( our Oliver George Eccleshall was born in Birmingham in March 1888). We are hoping that the Devonshire Regimental Musuem in Dorchester will be able to help us, but I was also wondering whether anyone else has any more information, family stories etc?
many Thanks
Jackie
