Images of Sheffield's Great War Soldiers - Surnames A-L

[Guest Old Kit Bag]

Hi,

been researching WW I soldiers from the North East for some time & I would be grateful if you would post a pic of L/Cpl Batty. W.H. Died. 7780 Coldstream Guards. Born Sunderland, enlisted Sheffield.

All the best

Jim

His image appears in de Ruvigny's roll of honour, of which you can see on Ancestry.

SDGW have him as you know born Sunderland, but his orbit in Ruvigny's states he was born Sheffield, schooled here and married here. He joined the police force prior to enlisting.

Dean.

Hi Dean,

yes, both born in Sheffield.

Harry Elliott born around 1892 and John Henry White born 1897.

My great grandfather also served in the Great War, his name was Robert William White (born 1886), think he spent time posted to India.

Regards,

Chris.

Hi Chris, was your great grandfather 795968 RFA, his father William Charles White of Mrytle road, Heeley ?

Hi Dean,

No, he had the same parents as John Henry White - they lived at Wallace Road, Sheffield.

Chris.

[Guest Trefcon]

Chris, do you have any of Roberts service details ?

Dean.

Chris, do you have any of Roberts service details ?

Dean.

Hi Dean,

afraid not, I just know he served abroad. My nan said once that he was a quartermaster's sergeant in India, I think, but that's all I know.

Couldn't match him to anything on Ancestry because I know where he was born and where he lived in Sheffield.

Chris.

I've just found this site and seen the list of Sheffield soldiers. I think my grandfather is listed

Deakin. W. Served/Wounded. Pte. K.O.Y.L.I.

Can anyone tell me how do I get a photograph of him.

Many thanks

Lelad

Thanks Dean

We think this is my grandfather. Do you know where the original picture is from and if so do you know how I might be able to get hold of a copy.

Thanks

[Guest Trefcon]

No luck again Mick.

I do have this image of the family headstone at Norton cemy though.

MIC states he was entitled to the Victory and British War Medals.

Born and enlisted at Sheffield, Died of wounds, and was formerly 45696 South Staffordshire Regiment.

Not looked for any 'papers'.

Hi

Thanks

[Guest Trefcon]

Hi, finally up and running again, apologies for the delay.

Dean.

[Guest Nikki6118]

Im desperate for a picture of Ernest Ridgeway (Private) 1st Bn King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry 4687688

He died 2 May 1944 Age 33 in a POW camp in Poland. Ive managed to get a picture of his grave, but i would love to get a picture of him. My grandmother has little memory of him and it would mean the world to her to see a picture of him again. He was born and lived in Sheffield.

Thanks

Nikki
