Pte. Joseph Eke
British Army 4th (Extra Reserve) Btn. B Coy. South Staffordshire Regiment
I recently purchased some WW1 training manuals at auction. Two were stamped 4th South Staffords Regiment, and the third had the handwritten details of Pte Joseph Eke, 9027 stating that his address at the time was The Grand Hotel, St Heliers, Jersey. (It's highly likely that all three manuals once belonged to Private Eke). This all ties in very nicely with the information contained in your website that the 4th South Staffs Regiment were based in Jersey at some point in the war.
