Pte. Reuben Ruffler

British Army 9th Btn. Cheshire Regiment

from:Birkenhead

(d.8th July 1916)

Reuben Ruffler was my great-uncle, my grandmother's brother. He was killed at the Somme, but his body was never found. My mum used to say that her mum (his sister) used to always hope he would turn up long after the war and in the twenties, ex-soldiers who had been badly injured or had lost their memory used to occasionally knock on their door begging or asking for help and her mum would rush to the door in the vain hope that it would be her brother.
