Sgt.Maj. Richard Lightfoot

British Army 15th (Birkenhead Bantams) Btn. Cheshire Regiment

from:Birkenhead

Richard Lightfoot was my Grandad. He served with the 15th Cheshires, the Birkenhead Bantams. He was captured at the Somme and spent the war in a prisoner of war camp in Germany from where he escaped and got recaptured three times. I Have a news item from the Birkenhead News with his photo saying he was missing in action.

Later on in the second world war he was based in Chester and then lived at the drill hall Birkenhead.
