Pte. Albert Samuel Lowe
British Army 16th Btn. Norfolk Regiment
from:Scottow, Norfolk
Albert Samuel Lowe was born on 22nd September 1889 in Scottow, Norfolk, the son of Robert Lowe and Sarah Eliza Rump. There were 6 children in the family, 4 boys and 2 girls. He and his brothers were keen brass band enthusiasts. Albert played the flute and clarinet. He was in the Fife and Drum Band as a Drummer and in the Royal Norfolk Regiment in the First World War. He was very fortunate to come through it as he was in the Battle of the Somme and not many came out of that. He always said that it was the only time during the war that the order "every man for himself" was given. Before the war, he was a farm foreman and team-man and looked after lovely Shire horses.
