Pte. Albert Grooby

British Army 1st Btn. Lincolnshire Regiment

from:Frampton, Lincolnshire

(d.4th Dec 1918)

The Lincolnshire Standard 25 Jan 1919 :-

"News has been received of the death of Pte Albert Grooby, Lincolns, who was wounded and taken prisoner during the retreat from Mons. He was confined in Parchim camp (Germany) and whilst no official information has been received, a fellow prisoner who has returned states that Pte Grooby died in the middle of December. The last letter received from him was dated the day before the Armistice Day and he was then in apparently his usual good health. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs Grooby and her two children, and sad to relate the youngest child he has never seen."`
