My grandmother's brother was also killed on 01 July 1917. He was 25828 Lance Corporal Robert Norman Garner. I am honoured to have his bronze plaque and two service medals (along with those of his 2 brothers who joined the Leicester Yeomanry in 1914...and both survived. I also have a couple of photos of Norman (as he was always known in the family) in his uniform. From the last entry of the war diary of June 1917, I presume he was killed in the Cite de Moulin. I too would really appreciate any further transcripts relating to that day.Thank you. Just found you most impressive and moving website. My grandmother’s brother was also killed on 01 July 1917.
