Hi

I'm tring to find out where Joseph Henry Dimmock died.

From googling I've got the following:

" Initials: J H, Nationality: United Kingdom, Rank: Corporal, Extra Info: Son Of John And Elizabeth Dimmock, Of I, Carlton St., Normanton, Yorks., Regiment: King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, Unit Text: 2nd/5th Bn., Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead, Grave Reference: I. D. 19., Cemetery: FAVREUIL BRITISH CEMETERY... DIMMOCK JOSEPH HENRY: United Kingdom Corporal 263029King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry20/08/1917 Age: 20 I. D. 19."

A search of Ancestry has been fruitless.

Can you help?

Doug
