This may or may not be the same person as the Arthur W Nield, commemorated in St. Mary’s Church, Uttoxeter.
The Uttoxeter Advertiser[2a] says that his Christian name was Alfred and that he died in the charge on the Hohenzollern Redoubt.
Before the war he worked at the Leighton Ironworks[2a] and he was then employed on the Dove Bridge Extension[2a].
