Pte. Sidney Augustus Bartlett
British Army 1st Btn. Royal Berkshire
from:Croft Rd, Wallingford, Berks
(d.14th Sep 1914)
Sydney Augustus Bartlett was my grandfather's cousin. He was born in 1887 to Sidney and Harriet Bartlett. He had been a general labourer and was unmarried. He served with the 1st Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regimentand was killed in action on 14th September 1914 aged 30 probably at the battle of the Marne. He has no known grave and is listed on La Ferte-sous-Jouarre Memorial. He was killed in the month after the war started.
I found his name on the war memorial in Wallingford when I visited my grandfather's home town and then did a little research.
