Alberts name on the Thiepval MemorialThis is Alberts name very kindly photographed for me by some people who went there. I have added to the records and now anyone going to the visiters centre will be able to call up his photo and a short page about him.Contributed by:

Sjt. Albert Hollins: Lichfield Mercury KIAAlthough his death was witnessed by his Company Serjeant Major, great uncle Albert was declared Missing, Killed In Action, on 01/07/1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Albert therefore has no known grave and his name is inscribed on the Theipval Memorial to the Missing on the Somme. RIPContributed by:
