Smith did not die at Pozieres - He was wounded at La Boiselles and Contalmaison. He died in Rusthall V.A.D. Hospital, Tunbridge Wells, England. Here is link to the page he is on http://ww1austburialsuk.weebly.com/rusthall.html <br /><br />Cathy SedgwickCathy Sedgwickhttp://ww1austburialsuk.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6629002092206577063.post-25748897992949102562014-06-12T14:39:55.661+10:002014-06-12T14:39:55.661+10:00Thanks for that tip.

That particular memorial is on my list of places to visit, just haven't got there yet.<br />I have probably already done a lot of background research on these men as they fall under my Coburg and the First World War project, so do get in touch so that we can share information. I've been researching the 1500 plus men who had Coburg connections and am bound to have some material that could be of use to you. I'd also love to hear what your project is all about!cherylghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12674487881309060774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6629002092206577063.post-7896783559101458392014-06-09T18:30:10.817+10:002014-06-09T18:30:10.817+10:00You'll finf AR Smith's name on thel plaque...You'll finf AR Smith's name on thel plaque of the War Memorial located at Rogers Memorial Reserve, Cumberland Road, Pascoe Vale.
