Pte Harry Neal - Manchester Regiment

[Hillcroft]

Hello

I am trying to put togther as much information about my Great Grandfather Harry Neal as I can.  I know that he died of wounds in hospital in Mespotamia and have recently subscribed to the newspaer archive and found his obitury along with his photo in the Manchester Evening News.  We dont have his medals sadly, i am not sure what happened to them in the past.  I wondered whether anyone could give me any information about his war/medal  record . He was in the 1st battalion
