majorsam Posted 8 November , 2006 Share Posted 8 November , 2006 I'm seeking information about a Private Amos Broadstock, no. 10558, of the 2nd Bn South Staffordshire Regiment who died on 26th March 1917 aged 42. Husband of A. Broadstock, of 33, Haskell St., Walsall, Staffs. Son of John and Mary of Greets Green, West Bronwich. He was born in West Bromwich and enlisted in Wrexham and before the war was residing in Pentre, Flint, Flintshire. He was buried in the Etaples Military Cemetery, France. This information was from the CWGC, SDGW and 1891 & 1901 census. I would be grateful for any military details and if his name is on any Staffordshire memorial.

Chris_Baker Posted 8 November , 2006 Share Posted 8 November , 2006 Jon6640 10618 Pte Charles Hickman, 2nd Battalion, was born in Bilston and enlisted in Wolverhampton. 17928 Pte Charles Hickman served in the 9th (Service) Battalion. He was born and lived in Cannock and enlisted in Hednesford. I would guess that he is your man. Details from the regimental volume of "Soldiers Died in the Great War".

Jon6640 Posted 8 November , 2006 Author Share Posted 8 November , 2006 Chris, A little cheeky but the same reference source states a William Bowen, possibly William Robert as South Staffs but I can't trace him either! Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
