Additional Information: My grandmothers "sweetheart" Alfred James Winteringham was L/Sgt 2/10thBattalion (Prince Consorts Own) number b/201052. He died August 8th 1918 in the front line French Flanders. I am researching family history and would be very grateful for any other information relating to his service and if any pictures are available that would be amazing. We do not know if he was ever aware that he left behind a son (my uncle) by my grandmother (Percy James)born in 1917. Any information would be really appreciated.
