Jesse Foster was born in the Hastings area of Sussex in 1892.
He moved to Scotland in his teens where he married and remained thereafter. He was a gardener, but joined the 8th Seaforths for the duration of WW1 being sent to France in 1916. He was captured after a fierce battle in Ypres on the 22nd August 1917, and was a POW first at Limburg, and then at Dulmen.
He was very proud to be a Scot (by marriage and residence) and looked fine in his kilt!
