Red Cross Files: Ypres

22nd-battalionThe following 177 men of the 22nd Battalion were killed or died during the six month period that Battalion was in Belgium fighting around the city of Ypres, with the greatest amount of casualties occurring during the attack at Broodseinde on 3rd/4th October 1917 as part of the British 3rd Ypres or Passchendaele campaign. Note the last six men were killed during the time of the German Spring Offensive, and hence appear in that list too. Many of the men have WW1 Red Cross Files for the Wounded and Missing – click on the links to learn more of their fate, often from first hand accounts from their comrades. A few  photographs of headstones can be found by clicking on the relevant Cemetery link, plus click on Service Number link for biographies of the 5th/22nd Battalion focus group.
