Mon histoire
2nd Lieutenant Harry Norman Bundle served in the London Regiment 13th Kensington Battalion, part of the 168th Brigade of the 56th (London) Division.
He was killed in action on the 20th of September 1917 along the Langemark – Zonnebeke road and was buried at the Tyne Cot Cemetery. However the 13th Kensington Battalion was stationed in the Lagnicourt sector, in Northern-France, when 2nd Lt. Harry Norman Bundle was killed in action. There is no mention of any 13th Kensington Battalion casualties on the 20th September.
We do know that some Battalions of the London Regiment were active on the 20th of September 1917 in the area where 2nd Lt. Harry Norman Bundle was killed. The 174th Brigade of the 58th Division attacked with the 2/8th London, 2/5th London and 2/6th London in series. The 173rd Brigade with the 2/4th London took the German strongpoints on the Western edge of the Gravenstafel spur and captured the Winnipeg cross roads.
It’s possible 2nd Lieutenant Harry Norman Bundle was attached to one of these London Battalions and was killed in the first day of the Battle of Menin Road, although there is no official document that can confirm this hypotheses.
