This was my grandads brother. Riley and Eliza Oldham are my great grandparents. Any more information on Richard would be greatly appreciated.

Richard was reported as missing 6-5-1915, during the battle of Loos.
His widow Sarah Ann was not officially notified until Oct 1916.
He is remembered on the Loos Memorial.
Retlaw.
I've also got Oldhams in my parish registers files from 1800 back to the first registers in the 1500's
