perce620 Posted 7 July , 2004 Share Posted 7 July , 2004 during a major sort out of one of my boxes found the 1998 book Walsall Servicemen 1914-18 by Sue Satterthwaite in the back it has a list of servicemen whos photos appear in either the Walsall Observer or South Staffordshire Chronicles. The info is name, village/town, why mentioned( ie died, wounded decorated, serving or pow )and what date the paper was printed. If anyone wants look ups I'm more than happy to do them Perce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Matthews Posted 7 July , 2004 Share Posted 7 July , 2004 Hi Perce I don't have all of his details to hand at the moment, but could you look up Private Abner JOBBER, Grenadier Guards for me please? I understand from the 1901 census that he was from Willenhall, Staffs. If you're interested, I can furnish you with what info. I have on him when I get back home (he was discharged sometime in 1915 with wounds). Many thanks Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
