Timberman:
The following are some of the pictures from an album held by the Tameside Local Studies and Archives Centre
file number is MR3/23/71 and is reproduced here with permission please bear this in mind if you
take copies.
They have said 32 soldiers died in the raid but only 31 died.
Although CSM George Holland is on this list he accurately died on the 7th January 1917 of
natural causes .
