Albert Clatworthy
British Army Royal Field Artillery
from:26 Pellatt Road, London
My Grandfather's first name was Albert and my Grandmother's first name was Alice but they never used these names to each other. It was always Bert and Mag. Well my grandfather was in a place called Albert and as you know serving people are not allowed to write home with the address where they are at for security reasons. Well he thought he would be a bit clever so when he wrote home he signed the letter from Albert. When my grandmother received it, she thought he was being posh so when she replied she signed her letter from Alice. I do not know anything about my Grandfather's time in the army, all I know is he served right through and got all the medals awarded for the whole war. When the First World War broke out he had just got over Glandular fever and when he told my Grandmother he was going down to sign on she told him, you can try but they wont want you, but they did.
