Military Chat

Hope somebody can help, I have been looking for Thomas Wyatt b1893 who served with the Royal field atillery and for Frank Wyatt b 1891 who served with the Devons regiment. Can not find any trace of either since the war. They both returned as are listed on the war memorial in Altrincham. Any information would be gratefully received.

I thought war memorials were for those that died during the war

There names are on a Roll of Honour which was in memory of the 161 men of chapel street in Altrincham who volunteered and served in the great war 1914- 1918. 29 men from that street gave there lives. Displayed at the war Memorial in Altrincham.

Following on from the death for Frank that Maddie posted, is this death for a Thomas born c1893 in a similar region just coincidence?

I realise it's a long way from Atrincham. Just speculating.

Probably a red herring.

Also it looks like Venletta was born a Hedges in 1896, and her mother Priscilla married a Thomas John Parsons in 1899. So she married under her stepfather's name.

The tree Maddie mentioned also showed another brother Joseph who also fought and survived WWI.

That tree has Joseph serving with the Cheshire Regiment.

Thanks Kucinta, I am certainly going to look into the information yourself and Maddie have given me. The Joseph Wyatt serving with the Cheshire regiment is my grandfather. I have failed to find anything about what happened to his two brothers after they came back from war. So I am interested in the info you have both found as they may of moved to that area looking for work. Thankyou
