My late husband's grandfather - Thomas Coyne - was killed, aged 28 in 1917, a the battle of Arras. My son and his two sons, aged 4 and 6, are visiting the grave in 2 weeks time, as they will be on holiday in France. We owe our ancestors so very much - they died so that we might live.
My Great gandfather Henry McClusky died April 29th 1917. He was fighting along with his father Francis and 2 brothers who lived. I am hoping to visit Tincourt soon.
