236963 Pte. Herbert John Barham British Army 1/8th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment Herbert Barham was my great grandfather and was from Aston. He was living in Lozells in 1913 with his wife and 3 children. Unfortunately, his service record is lost, what I can work out is that he enlisted in October 1914 to the 1/8th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment and went to France in March 1915. He was still serving with the 8th Btn when the Territorial Force was renumbered in March 1917. He was demobbed in March 1919. Although I know little about his active service, family anecdotes are that he was greatly affected by the war, possibly shell shock and it is thought this contributed to him tragically taking his own life in 1953. My wish is that his service and the traumas he suffered are not forgotten.
