Pte. Aubert Charles Smith
British Army 4th Btn. East Kent Regiment
from:Gillingham, Kent
(d.29th Dec 1917)
Aubert Smith was married to my 2x great aunt. Unfortunately, there are no living relatives who would remember her marriage to him.
He was born in 1893 and married Lucy Cox in 1915, when he was just 22. His only child, Aubert Richard Smith, was born in March 1917. Sadly, Aubert (snr) never got to see his son grow up as he died shortly after, in Dec 1917.
I have no record of exactly how Aubert died, only that he died in Fulham Military Hospital. From this I have assumed that he died from an injury sustained in campaigns abroad.
Lucy later remarried and, with Aubert junior, emigrated to Canada.
