Cpl. Alfred Percy Copplestone
British Army 2/8th Btn. HQ Coy. Worcestershire Regiment
from:Seaton, Devon
I have my Grandfather's diary from World War 1 and he seemed to organise a number of football matches on his 2+ years spent in France & Belgium. Apart from several inter company matches there was one between his Battalion and the Warwickshires (not known which Bn) just five days before the major German offensive known as Operation Michael (21st of Mar 18). The Worcesters won the match 3-2.
Alfred Copplestone arrived in France on 24th of May 16, as a Cpl and left, to attend an officers training course held at Fleet, Hampshire, on 1st of Jun 18. He was commissioned 2Lt but did not return to the front. He was demobbed in early 1919.
