Pte. Alfred Eneas
British Army 2nd Btn. Scots Guards
from:Portsmouth
(d.1st Mar 1915)
Alfred Eneas was my mothers uncle, he and his brother Will Eneas were killed during WW1. My mother's father Herbert Eneas survived WW1, serving in the Royal Navy, as was Will.
Like many families in the UK nothing was ever mentioned about the men in the family that had died. My mother was 15mths old when Will Eneas died and many years later was told briefly how he and his brother had died.
Through just snippetts of conversation with my mother I have managed to find out alot more about these young men. Will Eneas left behind a wife and a baby daughter, he was awarded the Royal Humane Society's Bronze Medal for saving life at sea. Alfred Eneas was not married.
They are still remembered with affection within our family.
