Military Chat

I am researching our local war memorial for WW1 there are 48 names on it.Initial and surname only. I am having difficulty with T.Hutchinson - can anyone help?

For those of us who are geographically challenged

"Meanwood is a suburb and former village of north-west Leeds, West Yorkshire, England."

Thanks Chris Ho - Private 15/1264 looks a very good possible. I have trolled through so many T.Hutchinsons. I could not make the Meanwood connection This completes my research on the 48 names on Meanwood Men memorial.

Well Done Cynthia!.
