miked Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Wondered if anyone knows anything about this lad. Noticed the grave last year at Wadsley. He seemed to be missed out of rememberance so I left a poppy which I will do again. Clement Kendrick Signal boy R.N.R. of H.M.Y. Sanda…?

Guest Trefcon Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Not much more at all, we have what you have really. His number was SB 103. HM Sanda was an armed yaght, a german battery on the Belgian coast did for it. There's 3 pages of his papers at TNA, about 4 quid to download.

miked Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Well done, I wonder who found the pic? I normally place a poppy on the family grave but went to Oughtibridge Church this year. Just a kid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 This cutting from 1912 looks like the correct Clement - spirit of adventure combined with a fascination for the sea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
