Two Brothers Serving in France

Title in English
Two Brothers Serving in France

Description
Private Angus Anthony (307160)served with 15th Battalion, Tank Corps and was killed in action on the 27th September 1918, when his tank received a direct hit. He had previously served with the Royal Engineers (304981). Three letters were received after his death, some very descriptive of events. Also a birthday card that he received just before his death, which was returned to the family by Captain Gibson. Acting Sergeant William Anthony, the contributors great grandfather, enlisted on the 26th February 1916 and was called up on the 29th March 1916. He went to France, with the Royal Engineers, in November 1918 and sent letters detailing his work and the things he saw. He also sought out his brothers grave and hoped to find the tank that he died in. Furthermore, he obtained photographs, which he sent to his mother. He also received a letter from a friend serving in British Guiana, sent after the armistice was announced. William Anthony took his mother to France to visit Angus's grave. Her passport has been retained and is stamped recording her arrival and departure.
