Pte. Arthur Champ

British Army 2nd Btn. Monmouthshire Regiment

from:Beatrice Road, Cadoxton, Barry

(d.18th Aug 1917)

Arthur Champ is my great Uncle. I have been doing my family tree and came across his name with his death in France in 1917. I decided to look into it as it's 100 years since world war one has ended. From information gathered, I found he was the youngest son of Mr J Champ of Beatrice Road, Cadoxton Barry, Glamorgan. He was killed in France on 18th of August 1917 by a shell as he was returning from an attack to his trench. (I do not know as yet what battle this was)

Arthur was 19 and had joined up eighteen months before with his brother Private William Champ who was serving in France with the Warwickshire Regiment. William returned home after the War.
