Pte Claude Shaw Wells

British Army 8th Battalion Bedfordshire Regiment

from:St. Pancras

(d.19th December 1915)

I believe Claude Wells, born 1896, was my father's cousin. His father was Claude Wells and his mother was Eliza Shaw, a widow. No marriage found. They lived in Midhope Buildings,St Pancras. I can only think I have the right person as war gratuities were paid to mother Eliza, sole legator. I know that Claude Wells senior spent some time in asylums during this period.

Claude Shaw Wells died at the age of 18 in Belgium, and his name appears on the Menin Gate Memorial. I shall remember him.
