I have a distant relative who was buried in Seine-Maritime cemetery, having died on 22 February (or possibly 22 March - sources differ), 1916. This is the second day of Verdun, but seemingly far too far away for him to have been killed in that battle.
Anyone know of any battles that were taking place in that region in February/March 1916?
(Seine-Maritime is half way between Dieppe and Rouen.)

A couple of links for you below, one if you post in the appropriate section may well give you some positive results. Third link describes the horror of trench warfare. If you have knowledge of which regiment your relative was in try their regimental website as often regimental records are very accurate
This link below describes the horrors of trench warfare.

bangkokjack.com/2018/11/11/trench-warfare-in-world-war-one/Thanks. I've submitted a post to the forum you've mentioned. As for the regiment, it was the Devonshire Regiment, which no longer exists. I couldn't find a website for it, or its current form, The Rifles (apart from an official site selling souvenirs). |
