Cpl. Enoch Shepherd MM.

British Army 8th Battalion South Staffordshire Regiment

from:Willenhall

(d.12th Oct 1917)

Enoch Shepherd was a miner in Willenhall before volunteering in 1915. Like so many, July 1915 would be the last time he would live with his family. He was awarded the Military Medal for bravery, but I have no idea why. He died during the first battle of Passchendaele, 12th October 1917. The war diary states that hundreds were cut down by machine gun.

He left a widow, Annie, and two children. He never saw the birth of his son, Enoch jr, born a month after his death. Such a life influencing legacy.
