At the start of the war in 1914 Edward Ward was a regular soldier. Not long after he was made a Company Sergeant Major. A story he told his family was about a route march he was on. His men sang "A little child shall lead us". The officer in charge made everyone march again. Ted said he wasn't offended by the hymn only by the double length route march. He died in a military hospital in Manchester.
