Pte. Samuel Colbenson
British Army 13th Btn. York and Lancaster Regiment
from:Cleckheaton
(d.16th Jan 1918)
Samuel Colbenson was born in Liverpool on the 31st January 1895, I am not sure why he ended up in Yorkshire but think he may have been a miner. There is a family story about Samuel being caught messing about in a warehouse with his cousin, his cousin I think was sent to Australia to work on a farm and later joined the army, dying in the war with Samuel.
