Pte. Reginald Burke
British Army 14th Btn. Hampshire Regiment
from:Winchester
Reginald Burke was born in Winchester in 1888 and first joined the Hampshire Regiment in 1903. In the 1911 census he is shown as a private, serving with the 1st Battalion at Aldershot. Shortly afterwards he was kicked out for 'misconduct under King's Regulations'! His crime could not have been that serious, as he rejoined in the 14th and was medically discharged on 10th September 1918. He married my great aunt Nellie White in 1913 and died at Winchester during the first quarter of 1939.
