242997 Pte. Luke Albiston British Army 16th Btn. B Coy. 14th Platoon Cheshire Regiment from:60 Aberdeen Crescent, Stockport (d.22nd October 1917) Luke Albiston was the eldest son of Joseph and Elizabeth Ann Albiston of 68 Aberdeen Crescent, Stockport. In the 1911 census, he was shown as aged 13 and at school. His younger siblings were Ethel, Jennie, Joseph, and Reginald. His paternal grandmother Rachel also lived with the family. Luke was reported wounded and missing on 22nd October 1917 during the Third Battle of Ypres. His parents placed an advertisement in the Stockport Express on 6th December 1917 asking for any news of him. There appears to have been no replies as his name is on Tyne Cot Memorial. Luke's name appears on the memorial to Stockport Corporation Employees killed in World War One, which is in the foyer of the Town Hall. It has not been possible to ascertain his occupation. The memorial is a replacement to the original (now lost) and stands on a wall adjacent to a similar memorial for World War Two casualties.
