Pte. Alfred Boulton

British Army Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders

from:134 Cemetery Road, Southport

Licensee's son a casualty

Private Alfred Boulton of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders is named as a casualty in the recent operations in the Middle East. He is reported to be seriously ill in a casualty cleaning station and a message to this effect has been sent to his wife who lives at 134 Cemetery Road, Southport. Private Boulton, who is 27, is a son of Mr. Harry Boulton licensee of the Miner's Tent, Whelly, Wigan. He attended St. Mary's School Ince and is well known in the Spring View area.

I found this newspaper cutting amongst my late father's belongings. Alfred was my uncle. I believe he was the only survivor from a tank crew that was blown up in El Alamein. He survived the war and went on to be a postman in Southport.
