Pte. Joseph Edward Sherwood

British Army 1st Btn. Duke of Cornwalls Light Infantry

from:West Bromwich

(d.21st April 1916)

Joseph Sherwood was my grandfather's eldest living brother and enlisted in 1915. He arrived in France on the 3rd of August 1915. Before joining the army Joseph worked in the brick making industry alongside all of his family. Joseph had a younger brother Arthur who survived the war who fought with the South Staffordshire Regiment. Unfortunately, my grandfather never mentioned his brothers and their participation in WW1, and nobody in the family knew of their service.

My brother and I will be making a visit to see Joseph's resting place and to pay our personnel respect. Joseph Edward Sherwood was killed in action in the Arras region.
