208145 L/Cpl. Allen Ager British Army 11th Btn Royal Sussex Regiment from:Haughley, Suffolk (d.3rd Apr 1918) I have just recently found out about my Uncle Allen Ager. He died in The Great War. I have no living relatives to tell me anything but I am trying very hard to get as much info as I can about him. He, along with my father Arthur and their siblings, were all born in the vicinity of Haughley which is near Stowmarket in Suffolk. My Dad was born in 1888, he was 63 when I was born and we never spoke much about WW1 but when another uncle died a few photos came my way and a little info to say that Allen had died on the Somme. I hope to get the military history of Allen, and also of my Uncle Hugh who was wounded and lost his left arm in 1917.
Additional Information: | Your Uncle was born in Wetheringsett roughly 1894 near Haughley where his name will not be forgotten as he is on the war memorial. A pupil from the primary school light a candle for him on Sunday which was remembrance. I wondered if we may have copy of one of the photos you have for our war memorial project? Ashley from Haughley Royal British Legion. Ashley
