Thank You
Just a quick update on Private Thomas Spence. Through the good efforts of NewGuise I have been able to find the following:
1-A 360 degree view of the current cemetery where Private Spence is buried.
2-The location, and a street view of the cemetery that he was initially interred in.
3-The location and a street view of the area where the "field hospital" was in 1918, where he probably died on April 2, 1918.
4-The location and a street view of the trench where he probably was on the day that he was initially wounded. We assume that to be March 21, 1918.
We are waiting on more information from the Black Watch Archives to try to pin down his location on March 21, 1918 a little better, as well as, perhaps, the actual date of his initial wound(s) and capture. However, right now we have his location to within one kilometer or so.
You folks are absolutely wonderful!!
Si Deus, quis contra? Spence and Brown on my mother's side, Johnston from my father, proud member of Clan MacDuff!
