249607 Cpl. Alfred Joseph Cushion British Army 6th Btn. East Kent Regiment from:Edmonton (d.9th August 1918) Alfred Cushion was born in 1876 living in Rotherhithe as a boy. He worked in the printing industry as a compositor and lived in Edmonton, Middlesex. He joined up in 1916 at the age of 40 years. He was killed in action at the Battle of Morlancourt on 9th of August 1918 leaving a wife and four children. His name is commemorated at Vis-en-Artois Memorial which bears the names of casualties who fell in the period from 8th August 1918 to the date of the Armistice in the Advance to Victory in Picardy and Artois. We visited the Memorial in the 1960s. He is our maternal grandfather and felt it appropriate to remember him at the centenary of his death and the end of WW1.
