Pte. Joseph Stead

British Army 9th Btn. Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry

from:Batley

(d.19th Oct 1918)

Joseph Stead of the 9th Battalion KOYLI was captured possibly in May 1918 and listed as being held at Friedrichsfeld POW camp. He died in the German military hospital in Charleville of heart disease, and was buried in the town cemetery in the section reserved for military casualties. He was reinterred in 1962 at Terlincthun British Cemetery.

We were initially informed by my Great Grandmother (his wife) that he had been shot for refusing to help the Germans. However this does not seem to be the case.
