British Army 1/7th Btn Worcestershire Regiment
from:Frith Common, Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire
(d.6th Sep 1917)
I would love to have a better story than just facts about my Great Uncle Charlie. I have a few of his letters home to my Grandparents as well as the psychic's letters to them too! The psychic passed on messages to my grandparents from Charlie long after he was dead.
I was the first to visit his grave in Wimereux, Northern France but prior to me finding his grave, the exact location was unknown all those years.
How can I find out where he died or even how? Did he die right away? Those buried in Wimereux would perhaps have been fighting a certain battle? I think there was a hospital there, so does that mean he was alive at first? And where did his Battalion train? How can I find out the date he would have enlisted and even when he went to France?
His cousin "Stinty", Wilfred Stinton Hudson, died in the 'Great War' too... how sad it is but I vow to keep them alive in our lives.
Thank you for any help you can give me to find out more about Uncle Charlie.
