219285 Arthur Sowerby British Army Liverpool Regiment from:West Derby Liverpool Arthur Sowerby died in the Battle of the Somme aged 19 years. His elder sister was my Nana, Constance Bennett (nee Sowerby) and she never forgot Arthur. Each year until she was no longer able, she placed a cross at the village Memorial on 11th November. When we lived locally, I used to go with her. Arthur's other siblings beside Nana (Connie) were Fred, Doris, Blanche and Albert Sowerby. Nana died in 1975 but I have never forgotten Arthur mostly due to Nana's stories about him and the family's loss. One day it would be good to go to the Somme Memorial and pay respect to Arthur, who is always remembered.
