Pte. Alfred Simpson Skeen
British Army 15th Btn. Cheshire Regiment
from:84, Church Way, North Shields
(d.4th October 1918)
Alfred Skeen was my great grandfather. He had moved to the USA in 1903 but returned to England and was the only one of 5 brother's who didn't return from WW1.
Two brothers travelled from the USA to Canada to join the Canadian Forces and two registered with the American Forces. He left 7 children including my grandfather David who was the third child aged just 11 years old. My father has Alfred as his second name but didn't know why, now he knows.
