Pte. Cyril Sharpe
British Army 14th (2nd Barnsley) Battalion York and Lancaster Regiment
from:Worsbrough Dale
(d.15th July 1916)
I discovered by surprise that Cyril Sharpe was the first husband of my great grandma. No one in our family had known of him, apart from my great aunt who had a medal with the name Sharpe on. She never knew her Mother had been married before and my grandad had died before I could ask if he had any idea.
I discovered Cyril had died in Flanders in 1916, only two years after he and Rose married. They also had a son called Joseph who I was hoping to find some descendants of but he died age 3 in 1918.
Cyril's name is on a memorial at St Thomas' Church in Worsbrough Dale but I have struggled to find out more about him and his life.
