221069 Pte John William Narvidge British Army 1st Btn. Essex Regiment from:Malden, Essex (d.14th Apr 1917) John Narvidge was my great uncle. His father, Alexander, was a Russian refugee and boot maker who moved to Maldon in Essex with his English wife, Sarah. John enlisted at Chelmsford, Essex, joining the 1st battalion Essex Regiment in 1914, we believe he was probably underage when he enlisted, having been born in Hackney in 1897. He died in battle at Monchy-le-Preux on April 14th 1917 and is buried at Arras. He was recorded as missing on 1st June 1917 in the Essex Chronicle together with many of his comrades. His name is recorded on the War Memorial in Maldon High Street. We have no photos of him but if anyone has it would be wonderful to see his face.
