Pte. William David Diver Jacobs
British Army 7th Btn. Royal Sussex Regiment
from:38 Marion Square, Hackney Rd, Bethnal Green
My father William Jacobs was born in 1899 and joined the Royal Sussex Regiment when he was 17. He fought in the Somme and possibly Ypres. There is a newspaper cutting headed Sussex and the War announcing the arrival of the Cadre of 2nd Sussex at Chichester from Dover. The nick-name of the regiment was "The Iron Regiment" (because it could bend but it never broke). My father's name was mentioned as part of the Cadre that returned.
