Pte. Albert Charles Bick
British Army 8 Btn. West Surrey Regiment
from:Lambeth
(d.25th Sep 1915)
Albert Charles Bick was born in Battersea and lived in Lambeth. He was married to my grandfather's sister Anne.
Albert enlisted in the Queens Royal West Surrey Regiment.
His death certificate states his date of death as the 25-09-1915 (underneath in brackets is wrote the word presumed) The last box on the death certificate states how died it has got not known. War records simply state 'Killed in Action.
He is commemorated in Loos Memorial Cemetery.
When I visited the first war battlefields and cemeteries, I was told by our guide that if someone was killed and their body not found, they did not have a headstone. Their name was carved on a memorial.
