Pte. 9721 Joseph Hartland

[theodore]

The Express & Star newspaper (Wolverhampton) had a report (30 December 1914) regarding the death (KiA 2.10.1914) of Private 9721 Joseph Hartland of the 2nd Battalion Worcestershire Regiment. The piece has a photograph of Joseph but I have not been able to obtain a copy and if any member can supply me with the photo it would be very much appreciated.

Hi

Just wondering where you live because most of the local history centres carry the Express and Star copies, offhand I can name Walsall and Wolverhampton,

We have scanned a number of First World War articles from the Express & Star and put them on our Flickr site, including that for Joseph Hartland: https://www.flickr.com/photos/wolverhampton_arts_and_heritage/13376036515/in/set-72157633252776630/

If you would like a clearer copy of the article and photograph, please get in touch with Wolverhampton Archives directly: http://www.wolverhamptonart.org.uk/visit/wolves-archives/

Thanks.

Hi Wolvesarchives

I'm glad you replied to this thread as it gives me a chance to thank you for the Flickr page. I found it some time ago 'mooching' about the WWW

and came across the page. Tons of information for my research.

Many thanks for taking the time to create the page,

Regards,

Graeme
