Gnr. Sydney Ernest Brogden

British Army B Bty., 235th Bde., RFA 47th (2nd London) Division

from:Marylebone - London

(d.22nd Jul 1917)

Sydney Brogden Gravestone, La Clytte Military Cemetery

Sydney Ernest Brogden was my great-great-uncle. His brother (Charles Godfrey Brogden, my great-great-grandfather) served in the Cheshire Regiment and was the first in and last out of France in 1914 and was part of the Old Contemptibles. He survived the whole war and served in some of the bloodiest battles. I haven’t yet found any pictures of him. Unfortunately, Sydney was killed in action at age 21, but I don't know exactly how or where he died. There were 6 siblings in all (including my great-great-grandfather), but I have no information about the other four. Sydney is buried at La Clytte Military Cemetery in West-Vlaanderen, Belgium.
