Sgt. Albert Edward Slack
British Army 28th Coy. Machine Gun Corps
from:Paisley
(d.19th Jul 1916)
Albert Slack signed up in 1914 and at the time was engaged to be married to my gran, Jean McNair. He served with the Highland Light Infantry and the 28th Machine Gun Corps. Little is known of his unit's movements until July 1916 when during the Battle of Delville Wood, he is recorded as dying from wounds on 19th July but has no grave. His name exists only on the Thiepval Monument.
My gran eventually married Albert's younger brother David, after the war.
