231648Pte. Norman Crabtree Studley
British Army 27th (Tyneside Irish) Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers
from:Shipley, West Yorkshire
(d.28th April 1917)
Norman Studley was my maternal granddad who barely got to know his two young children, Peggy and Roy. Norman was the husband of Lily, my grandma. My mum Peggy died in 2013, just three weeks short of being 97. She was only around 13 months old when Norman died.He was killed on 28th of April 1917 when his unit was involved in assaults as part of the Battle of Arras, France. His name is honoured on the Arras Memorial, Northern France, as well in his own county on Rolls of Honour at Saltaire Nab Wood, Saltaire Wesleyan Methodist Chapel and St Paul's Church, Shipley, West Yorkshire.
He was greatly mourned by many, and all those that knew him had good words to say about him. He was a pianist and organist and enjoyed many styles of music and entertaining at local chapel concerts in Shipley and Saltaire. Norman was known as a cheerful, positive, kindly and reliable man.
