Pte. Albert Henry Wakefield
British Army 15th Btn. Sherwood Foresters
from:King's Lynn
(d.22nd Oct 1917)
I am sorry that I have no information about my great uncle Albert Wakefield apart from that he was my grandfather's oldest brother and that he left a wife and two children without a father and husband when he was killed in France.
I was hoping that there was some information as to where and how he met his end I would like to know as I am in my sixties and it is coming up to 100 years since his demise.
Editor's Note: Albert served with the 15th Battalion, Sherwood Foresters and was killed during the 3rd Battle of Ypres. He has no known grave but is commemorated on the Tyne Cot Memorial on the battlefield in Belgium.
