248479 Pte. Alfred Merton British Army 9th Btn. Norfolk Regiment (d.15th September 1916) My mother named me after her dad, Alfred Merton. I did not know a lot about him 'till my mother died, in sorting her things I found out where he was killed. I went to the Somme to see were he was killed. I'm proud to say I walked his finale walk. He was killed on 15th of September 1916 in the Battle of the Somme. I went to the area about four more times to visit all the battlefields my grandfather fought in. He was born, like his mother and grandmother, in a workhouse in Rockland All Saints, Norfolk so he did not have a easy life.
