223528 Pte. Benjamen Josey British Army 4th Btn. Royal Berkshire from:Jesse Terrace, Coley, Reading (d.26th Oct 1918) My great uncle on my mother's side of the family was Benjamen Josey, born in 1896, home address Coley, Reading. The 1911 census shows him as a 15 year old tin maker maybe at the biscuit factory in Reading. He was a private in the Princess Charlotte of Wales Royal Berkshire Regiment service no 200293. He was wounded in the head at the Somme and died of his wounds in a war hospital in Reading in 1918 - I believe this to be so as his name is listed on the screen wall at the old Reading Cemetery Wokingham Road, Reading. I found this by chance from a visit there. I have no other information at all, but a photo exists in the family which I am trying to locate.
