dunsbyowl1867 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 This is a photo of my Grandma's uncle Llewelyn Dibble they lived in Burns Terrace in 1911 or so. When I obtained his medal card I found aswell as his WW1 medals he had a clasp attached for serving in Mesopotamia after the war. On checking the Y&L were sent there to fight the Bolsheviks who were also after the Persian Oil! Again now't new under t'sun. Description Medal card of Dibble, Llewelyn Corps Regiment No Rank Yorkshire Light Infantry 7/11829 Private York and Lancaster Regiment 53239 Private Royal Engineers 236377 Private York and Lancaster Regiment 4737015 Private Date 1914-1920 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is photo of him in uniform with his brother, my great grandfather William Dibble. I will dig out the copies of their medal cards. Do you have a date for the wounded notice and was it in a local paper? here's his grave in Shiregreen graveyard. Again many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trefcon Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hi Dunsbyowl, The photo did appear in a Sheffield paper of the day, but i cant remember which one now! If i remember right it was sometime 1916, but dont quote me on that. BUT, it also appears in one of three scrap book's at Sheffield Local Studies. I have to look at these books again so i'll look out for it and pass on the details. Dean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One other thing my Grandad told me his father was wounded in WW1 - his name was Albert Bennett. Have you come across any record of a wounded soldier by that name from Sheffield ? (He aslo told me he came back to England to recover but rather than be sent straight back to the front he 'joined up' again in a different regiment under another name) Doe you think that was possible?

Guest Trefcon Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hi, No 'Albert Bennett's' at all in my files, and none on the A-Z or the other A-Z i'm working on. Very possible he used an alias, there are hundreds on the CWGC. Did he say which 'alias' he used? Dean. There are 3 pages of an 'Albert Bennett' of Sheffield, pension papers surviving on Ancestry, wife was Mary Ann Belk/Beck? From Attercliffe.
