Cpl. Harold Maden 1st Battalion North Staffordshire Regiment (d.15th December 1914)

Harold Maden was one of three Maden brothers killed in the First World War. He served with the 1st Battalion, North Staffordshire Regiment, which formed part of the 17th Brigade, 6th Division, III Corps. He arrived in France at St Nazaire on the 12th of September 1914, and immediately travelled South to fight in the Battle of the Aisne. In the middle of October the 17th Brigade held the southern flank in the first Battle of Ypres, and took part in the offensive at Armentieres. We assume that Harold was killed during the after action that ensued, post the first Battle of Ypres.
