Hi memorialhunter.
Welcome to the Forum.
Nice peice of research. Hope you find your time on here most worthwhile.
Kindest regards,
Chris.

Memorialhunter,

For me a timely debut! I am just in the process of helping a friend research his grandfather, who was KIA in 1917.

Gunner Thomas Stanley, Royal Field Artillery.

He came from Fenton, Staffs.

I wonder whether you know if he appears on a local memorial? Maybe for Stoke?

Thanks

Ian

If in your opion some information appears to be incorrect please send me your data for updating

What's the URl of your home page?

Hi Memorialhunter, on the Bromsberrow Memorial, I have some details on Pte. William Chamberlain.
He was Pte. W. Chamberlain 20309 2nd Battalion Worcestershire Regiment. Killed in Action 27th August 1917. He has no known grave and is remembered by us and on the Tyne Cot memorial in Belgium. It is a daunting project you have undertaken and may take you years, well done! Anyone that is a Worcestershire soldier or you suspect to be, I should be able to help you.
Best wishes Mike

Ahh guessed Memorial Hunter was Alf Beard.

Been using your Staffordshire trancriptions for a couple of year now on the Wishful Thinking Site:-

http://www.wishful-thinking.org.uk/genuki/STS/MIs.html

Would love to know where your memorial page is

Jane

Hi Jane

Memorial Page, Do you mean for Staffordshire War Memorials, I am going to add them to this link. Is there any particular one you are after?

Alf

Hi Mike

Many thanks for your e-mail, Yes it will take years, I will not see it finished. I know there are others doing the same as me but the War Memorials are getting weather damaged and the names will be lost for ever so they have to be done.

Regards
Alf

Yes like Memorial Man Martin I wondered what the web address of your War Memorials site was.

It is the Longton War Memorial I have an interest in.

Father & son - Thomas & Harold Thomas Ridge are on it.

Jane

Hi Jane

I have pasted what I have on your men which may not be correct. This memorial have many service men who have been doubled up and the names on the memorial are given are in this format, A Ridge, H Ridge and so on and sometimes it is a hit or miss if you get the correct one. However it does give the Regt etc they were in. The information below may not be correct. If you can add or correct any thing it would be appreciated.

Alf

RIDGE Alfred Sgt 2051 5th North Staffs Regt died 1/7/1916 age 23. Son of Thomas & Mary Ann 59 Buccleuch Road Normacot Longton. Commemorated at Foncquevillers Military Cemetery France I.L.21

RIDGE Arthur Pte 13434 7th North Staffs Regt died 5/4/1916. Commemorated at Basra Memorial Iraq. Note this may not be the correct person. One has already been found( see above) and the one below is a double of one of them

RIDGE A North Staffs Regt (see above)

HI Alf

Harold Thomas Ridge is my relative - cousin of my mother, he died on SS Port Hunter. He is indeed commemorated at Plymouth & I have a photo of him

I will need to go through my Staffordshire Sentinel notes taken at the newspaper archive to see what I have on the others.


Jane

Hi Jane

Thanks for taking time to that,any information will help. Could you give me any additional information on Harold, ie parents, and last home address so I can include it in his notes. I do have a photo of the cenotaph and the panel on which his name is inscribed if you want it.

Alf,

Sent the names etc of the Memorial at Salperton and hope to send the photos later on today although
some details a wee bit difficult to read because of corrosion etc.

I have also got the details of Dowdeswell and hope to complete that lot before Saturday.

Bernie

Hi,

What a great deal of information,

I have a relative who was KIA France/Flander 3rd October 1918 William Joseph Jones, Born Smethwick, Staff, Served with the 1/6th South Staff Regiment, but i cant seem to find him mentioned on any memorial in the county of Staffs, He is on a war memorial in Vis en Artois in France.

Would you be able to shed some light on this for me. It would be really nice to know if he is remembered by the county he served.

Thanks

Sharon .

Ian, have sent pm can do a look up in the sentinel as there is an entry for Gnr T Stanley 22nd Sept 1917

Great, and thanks. I have PM'd you by way of reply.

Ian

Dear Memorial Hunter,
What a fantastic job.
Do you, by any happy chance, have a database cross reference to the regiments / units of your lists of men.
I have a list of MGC men I'd like to know more about. The problem with them is that they came from all over the country so I wouldn't know if they were Staffs, Gloucs or anywhere else.
