Awards

He was formerly from Stramshall and his wife's mother lived in Brierfield, Lancashire^[2b]. His father, who attended Uttoxeter Market for over forty years, was living in Stramshall at the time of his son's death^[2b].

He was a well-known sprinter in the Uttoxeter district and was a familiar figure at the Wakes Sports at Uttoxeter and the local flower shows, etc., in the district^[2c].

He was also a member of the Territorials and joined up at the outbreak of war^[2b].

He left Uttoxeter on the 6^th of August 1914 with the first contingent of the Uttoxeter Company, 1^st/6^th Batalion, North Staffordshire Regiment^[4].

On 27^th November 1916, when training before being sent to France, he ran in some regimental sports at Louth and won what was described in the Uttoxeter Advertiser as a handsome medal^[2c]. Unfortunately, he never saw it, because it was sent to his relatives after he had left for active service^[2c].

He died from the effects of gas poisoning and a gunshot wound in his leg^[2b]. The Uttoxeter Advertiser Roll of honour says that he died at Angres Rollincourt

The memorial notices which follow were all posted in the Uttoxeter Advertiser to mark the anniversaries of his death. The words in the first are particularly moving.
