Cpl. Edward Clayton
British Army 2nd Btn. Worcestershire Regiment
from:Islington
(d.31st May 1918)
Edward Clayton was my great uncle. He was unmarried, but much loved by his two sisters Martha and Elizabeth, both of whom were married with young families at the time of Edward's death in action in 1918. My mother, his niece, was 6 years old at the time Edward was killed and has a clear memory of her mother's grief when her grandmother came to tell the family of his death. She remembers my grandmother trying to get on with her chores with tears streaming down her face. Edward is buried in Engelbelmer Cemetery in France.
