Pte. Joseph William Horsley
British Army 9th Battalion Duke of Wellington's (West Riding) Regiment
from:West Bromwich, Spon Lane
(d.2 Sep 1918)
Joseph William Horsley born 1889 West Bromwich, Staffordshire married Emma Care in 1911 and had a daughter in 1913 named Annie Horsley. I've just found out that the year that he lost his life 1918 his wife was carrying his unborn son. She gave birth in September, the month that he was killed, and named him Joseph after his father. But, unfortunately, the baby didn't survive and died that same year. So, not only did she have to endure loosing her husband but also her son.
I don't know much about Great Uncle Joseph and I've never seen a photo of him. I would love it if I could see one of him.
