219755 Pte. Ashton Harry Hughes British Army 4th Btn. Suffolk Regiment from:Boxford (d.18th Aug 1916) This brave man Ashton Hughes but he was one of my dear Dad's 12 siblings. He served with the 4th Battalion Suffolk Regiment and was killed in action on the Somme on 18th August 1916 aged 26, when my Dad was just 12 years old. Although no one spoke of his death I can`t help but feel the family must have been devastated with their loss. There was another brother Reginald who joined the TA in Suffolk with the 6th Battalion regiment but luckily was a survivor. I am visiting my uncle's war grave in France this October with a friend & believe this will be a poignant time walking through the lanes where he would have given his life for us. I will never forget you Uncle. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
