PaulC78 Posted 25 March , 2014 Share Posted 25 March , 2014 Hi folks, Attached image is taken from the Scottish death register: the death occured on 13 April 1917 at 18 Westgate, Friokheim, which I assume was the family address; father of the deceased infant was Lance Corporal Charles Withington, 329 Coy (or 321, it's not clear) Royal Defence Corps. I'm trying to establish where L/Cpl Withington was stationed at the time. To my eyes it looks like Hagley, Stourbridge, though I could be wrong and I can't make out the name of the camp. Does anyone recognise the name of the camp, or can anyone tell what it says? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 25 March , 2014 Share Posted 25 March , 2014 Isn't Stourbridge in the Midlands, eg River Stour through Cradley?? khaki I am a little way off, Stourbridge is in or part of Dudley,West Midlands, there is an area there Treherns Fields which I believe was formerly Treherns Farm, a long shot it may have been the sight of Trehearns Camp??

Lawsyd Posted 25 March , 2014 Share Posted 25 March , 2014 According to Google Maps there is a Hagley two or three miles south of Stourbridge. Not sure if that helps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madgarry Posted 25 March , 2014 Share Posted 25 March , 2014 Hagley is 2 to 3 miles from Stourbridge and is in Worcestershire and is not part of Dudley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC78 Posted 27 March , 2014 Author Share Posted 27 March , 2014 Thanks for the replies, chaps! Trehearns Camp looks like it might be right, so I'm happy to go with that. I'll see if I can find out any more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
