239783 Cpl. Ernest Albert Surman British Army 10th Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment from:5 Eadie St., Stockingford, Nuneaton, Warks (d.21st July 1916) My mother once asked my grandfather Albert Surman, about his
father's WW1 service. He told her when he was 10yrs old he awakened
early one morning to hear boot steps walking from the entryway, he
looked out of his bedroom window and saw his father in uniform walking
away from the house up Eadie Street. He added that was the last he saw
of him. He then told her "He got blown up, I don't want to talk about it
ever again!"
Ernest Surman left behind his widow and seven children.
