CQMS. Sidney Broadhead
British Army 2/5th Btn. Lincolnshire Regiment
from:Scartho, Grimsby
My great grandfather, Sidney Broadhead, was born in Grimsby in 1886. Despite my great grandmother being pregnant with my grandad, he joined up in 1915, and was posted to Ireland to put down the Easter Uprising. I have many old photographs of him and his division in Ireland. I believe that he was then sent to France.
Sidney's cousin, Frank Broadhead, joined the newly formed RAF but was killed three months before the end of the war in 1918 in a training accident in Sussex.
