I'd like to thank a member of Robert's family, Sara, for the information given about 'Uncle Bob'.



Pte. Robert Turnbull.
Seen in 1911 Census of Tudhoe, aged 18 (so born 1893)?

A DLI Casualty in 1916, parents named as Shippen - because his mother Elizabeth Isabella had remarried to George Shippen in 1904.

Pte Bob Turnbull was killed on the 1st of October 1916 (aged 23) and he is remembered with honour at the Warlencourt British Cemetery, near Bapaume. Read more about the cemetery on the CWGC pages, in this guide to the wider area, or here on an Aussie page.
