Pte. Algernon Alfred Casterton

British Army 1st Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regt

from:Nottingham

(d.30th Nov 1917)

Cousin Algie (to my mother) always called at her parent's house prior to travelling home on leave during WWI. This was so that she and her sister could get him cleaned up before his mother saw him.

Initially he joined The Leicesters and then transferred to The Warwicks. He was wounded during an attack near Les Boeufs (halfway between Bapaume & The Somme) in October 1916 and subsequently killed, aged 25, by sniper fire on 30th November 1917. He lies in the Windmill British Cemetery at Monchy-le-Preux just to the east of Arras.
