Pte. Sidney Ford Lead
British Army 10th Btn. Sherwood Foresters
from:Dale Street, Burslem, Staffs
(d.4th Nov 1918)
Sidney Ford died on a foggy morning of 4th November, near Poix-du-Nord, Nord, France, during The Battle of the Sambre.
He was hit by a German sniper as the leap-frog action of his and three other companies met a fierce barrage of fire.
His grave can be found in the Englefontaine British Cemetery, Nord, France, a mile or two east of Poix-du-Nord.
I would be grateful of any further information about the movements leading up to his death and of comrades who enlisted from Burslem and the area.
