You won't find much of any thing on that web site
and its full of mistakes, several of the Pals who fought at the battle of the Somme are missing.
And he does'nt have the true figures for the killed and wounded, just guesses, which is miles out.

Ben was wounded during the battle of the Somme
July 1st 1916.
There is an obituary for him in the paper in November 1941.

Retlaw.
