Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 2 Send Message	I am trying to find any information on my Great Grandfather Richard Firkin, in particular I would love to contact anyone who might have a photograph of him. Richard Firkin was born in 1891 in Nottingham, his parents were Richard Firkin and Elizabeth Firkin (nee Scott). He had a brother Thomas and two sisters Elsie and Evelyn. Richard was killed in 1915 at the battle of Neuve Chapelle fighting with the 1st Batn. of Sherwood Foresters. I would love to hear from anyone who knows anything about him, especially if they have any photographs. Mark
