224010 Pte. Albert Alfred Barnett British Army 1/4th Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment from:Reading, Berkshire, (d.27th Aug 1916) I don't know much about Albert, I found him while researching my genealogy. He was my 4th cousin, twice removed. Albert Alfred Barnett was born in 1894 in Reading, Berkshire to Edward John Barnett of Laverstoke, Hampshire and Sarah Jane Charlton of Barton Stacey, Hampshire. He was the second of three sons born to the couple. Before enlisting in the Army, Albert was training as a carpenter in the building trade, following his father's vocation. He lived with his parents at 38 Grove Road in Windsor at the time of enlisting. Albert was just 21 years old when he was killed in action in France. In the transcripts it indicates that death was presumed and that his personal effects were sent to his father. He is remembered on the Thiepval Memorial in France Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
