The Medals Rolls show Pte. Ina Manock (Regt. Nos: 75901, 27562). His attestation papers state that he was born between July and September 1891 in Middleton Junction, near Oldham, Lancashire. A single moulders labourer, living at 10 Hardman Rd, Rochdale, Ina joined the 4th Lancashire Fusiliers on 8th December 1915 at the age of 24 years 4 months. (He later served with the 2nd, 3rd and 15th Battalions, too.) On enlistment, Ina is described as 5' 7" tall; weighing 132lbs. Shortly after, he gave his new wife Ethel (nee Wilson) of 81 Moss St, Rochdale, as his next-of-kin. The couple were married in St. Peters Newbold, Rochdale, on 20th March 1917. Ina was in the UK from 26 January 1917 to 17th April 1917. He went to France on 18th April 1917. On 9th January 1918 he was transferred to the UK on the Hospital Ship St. Patrick. He was admitted to VA Hospital in Northam, north of Bideford, with trench fever on 10th January 1918. He spent from 14th February until 27th March 1918, being treated for the same thing, in Exeters No. 3 War Hospital. On 15th May 1918 he was wounded (described variously as a shell abrasion, a gunshot wound and an abscess) in his right knee, for which he was treated in the 21st General Hospital, Etaples. He also spent from 7th September to 2nd December 1918 being treated for an infected blister to his right ankle (malleolus). On 14th September 1918, he was transferred to the UK via the Hospital Ship Stad Antwerpen. On 15th January 1819, Ina applied for a pension on the basis of weakness/swelling following the healing of drainage wounds to his right heel/calf. A 20% disability was agreed. He described his last job, before joining the army, as that of a brass finisher working for the Brierley Brass Works, Hill St, Rochdale. Ina was discharged from the army on 26th January 1919. In 1922, Ina and Ethel were living at 81 Moss St, Rochdale. Ina died in Rochdale between January and March 1963 aged 71. Sue Rugg Add to this record. Recomended Reading.
