Pte. Alexander Sambridge
British Army 1st Btn. Royal Berkshire Regiment
from:Newcastle upon Tyne
(d.8th Oct 1918)
Alexander Sambridge (Sambidge) was my father's brother. I began researching his history in 2013 and came across a beautiful card, with French lace and embroidered lilac flowers and the sentiment "To My Dear Mother". The card reads:
"I send my best wishes to you all at home and a bright and happy Xmas. Love to you all.
From your loving son,
Alex"
Alexander is buried in Forenville Military Cemetery in Nord, France.I am very glad to have learned about my uncle's wartime service. It has allowed me to say "Thank you" to him; he was a young man with his whole life ahead of him.
