255443 Pte. John Alfred Sturman British Army 1st Btn. East Kent Regiment from:Lewisham, London (d.31st Dec 1915) John Alfred was my paternal Grandfather's nephew. His father was Noah Sturman, but we have found no record of his mother. He was born at Lewisham London, and signed up there in 1914. Prior to going to France and Flanders he was stationed at Dover from May to July 1915 where he was docked pay on several occasions for being AWOL. His army records show that on his death his father could not be located (he was in the Navy). My Grandfather and his sister collected his medals etc. Also in his records is a note from his father written several years after the event. Noah appears to have tried to establish where his son was buried or commemorated. It seems that his father had left the Navy and was living in Australia, having no contact with his extended family in England.
