Pte. Joseph Charles Currie
British Army 8th Btn. Cheshire Regiment
from:Wallasey, Merseyside
(d.5th April 1916)
Joseph Currie (as the family story goes) was a dispatch rider. He rode into a field of mines and was blown to pieces. I don't whether this is true. From records I have found online it says missing in action presumed killed in action. Another family story is that Joseph initially lied about his age to join up and was only about 18 or 19 when he died.

Pte. Patrick Curry
British Army 2nd Btn. Leinster Regiment
(d.10th Oct 1914)
Private Patrick Curry of 2nd Leinster's did not make a will. However, sometime between August and October 1914 Patrick had written a letter to his mother stating that he was trusting in God and keeping the faith, and advised his mother to do the same. He made reference that should anything happen to him, then his mother gets his property. In his letter, Patrick made reference to when the conflict finishes, then the soldiers at the front would get 6 weeks leave and a lump sum of Ć‚Ā£6. The War Office (Accounts 4) in 1916 deemed that Mrs Curry's letter from her late son was an unofficial will under the Wills Act of 1837. The National Archives of Ireland reference relating to Pte. Patrick Curry's will is NAI E/159090. These are online. I am researching the origins of the AB 64 Soldier's Active Service Pay Book, introduced in 1906; Accounts 4 (soldier's estates and wills) and the Irish soldiers' wills now housed at the NAI.

L/Cpl. Alexander George Curson
British Army 8th Batt Norfolk Regiment
from:Binham, Norfolk
(d.19th July 1916)
While researching my wife's family tree I found the records of Alec Curson from Binham in Norfolk, he was the son of George and Leonora Curson from Westgate Nr Binham, Norfolk. Alec died on the 17th July 1916 at Delville Wood but has no known grave. We are trying to find out what company he was in and what section or platoon and what his company did from when they landed in France until the date he died. He was the son of George and Leonora Curson who lived in Westgate near Binham in Norfolk. Update Upon carrying out research, have established that Alec Curson was killed in action on 19th July 1916 at the age of 20. He is commemorated at the Thiepval Memorial. Alec was in the 53rd Brigade, 18th (Eastern) Division. During the Battle of the Somme on the 1st/2nd July the Brigade attacked south-west of Montauban, on the 3rd July in the Carnoy/Montauban area and on the 19th July at the southern part of Delville Wood where Alec was killed in action.

Private F.J. Curtis
Official information has been received of the death in action on Sunday, September 3, of Pte. F. J. Curtis, Gloucester Regiment, in his 19th year, younger son of Mr and Mrs J. T. Curtis, Down House Gardens, Stoke Bishop. Deceased enlisted in July, 1915, proceeding to France on Christmas Eve. Prior to joining the Army he was on the staff of the Co-operative Wholesale Society, Broad Quay. He was deeply interested in Sunday School work in connection with the Westbury Park Wesleyan Church, of which he was a member. In writing home recently he said he had a wonderful confidence that his work was not done, and that he would come through the campaign all right, remarking, "I still have that trust in God which has been with me ever since I have been out here that, whatever happens will be for the best possible end."
The same article appeared in the Bath Observer on 7th October 1916.

Pte. George Albert Curtis
British Army 7th Battalion Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry
from:Hornsey, London
(d.16th August 1917)
A very interesting moment in the 3rd Battle of Ypres (Passchendaele). On the 16th of August 1917 the 7th KOYLI was part of the 20th Light Division, 61st Brigade, which successfully retook the villages of Langemarck and Steenbeek from the enemy, lost during 1915. 7th KOYLI were tasked with clearing a blockhouse to the west of Steenbeek village which was holding up the advance. It is likely that Pte George Curtis, my great granddad, was killed in this action. His regimental colleague Pte W Edwards was awarded a VC for his part in this action.
George's body has never been identified and he, therefore, has no known grave. His fall is commemorated in the Tyne Cot memorial near Ypres.
Gertrude Elizabeth Ann Curtis
Women's Land Army
from:Salhouse, Norfolk
Gertrude Curtis was my Grandmother, she served in the Land Army whilst her boyfriend, my Grandfather, was serving with the Norfolk Regiment in Mesopotamia. I have a copy of her discharge certificate which states that she was 'a excellent milker'. She was awarded a badge amulet stripe for this achievement. She was enrolled at Norwich on 10th July 1918 and demobilised on 30th November 1919.
She and my Grandad, James Richard Hipkin, were married at Great Ryburgh Church in Norfolk on September 17th 1919. They had three children, two sons and a daughter. Their daughter was my mother, Kate Elizabeth Ann, who was in the Land Army during WW2. She worked on a farm at Docking. Kate had wanted to join the WAAF but was declared medically unfit.
