Pte. Jesse Edwin Foster 8th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders

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!
