252147 Cpl. Alfred Wesson British Army 1st Battalion Sherwood Foresters from:Coalville, Leics. (d.12th May 1915) Alfred Wesson arrived in France on 4th November 1914 as part of the 1st Battalion, Sherwood Foresters. He died of wounds on 12th of May 1915, we presume these were incurred at the Battle of Neuve Chapelle on 9th May. He was taken to Wimereux Hospital where he died, his grave can be found in Wimereux Communal Cemetery. Alfred arrived in France on 4th November 1914 with his brother Harry Wesson. Harry was killed in action on 9th May 1915. Alfred was awarded the Victory Medal and British Medal. All this information was gleaned from British Medal Roll 1914-1920 and the CWGC website. I have a very grainy photograph of Alfred in his uniform but when this was taken I do not know.
