from:Islington

(d.1st Jul 1916)

My Great grandfather was born Karl August Notscheid in 1877 in London of German parents. He enlisted during Dec 1915 under the name Walter Notscheid after being goaded into proving his Englishness by a relative.

He was killed in action at Fricourt on the 1st of July 1916 whilst serving in the 4th Battalion, Middlesex Regiment. He is buried in the Gordon Dump Cemetery, at Ovillers La Boisselle.

A German relative was serving in the German Artillery on the Somme at the same time and survived the war.
