Pte. Alfred George Sales
British Army 3rd Battalion Monmouthshire Regiment
from:Dartford, Kent
(d.29th Dec 1915)
Dedicated to my Great Grandfather, Alfred Sales, a miner from Dartford in Kent who was working in Monmouthshire at the outbreak of war.
He enlisted with the Monmouthshire Regiment on the 30th August 1914. After being wounded at Ypres in May 1915, he recovered and returned to the front in August 1915. He was killed, along with 38 of his comrades, by enemy shellfire whilst on parade at Elverdinghe Chateau on 29th December 1915, aged 50 years. Never known by me, but never forgotten.
