Pte. Charles Edward Catanach

British Army 2nd/5th Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment

from:Mobberley, Cheshire

(d.21st March 1918)

Charles Catanach was my great grandma's cousin. He was born in Mobberley, Cheshire in 1880. We do not know why he came to Lincolnshire, but in 1914 he married Florence Mary Swingler and enlisted in Louth that same year.

He was reported as presumed killed in action 21st of March 1918. He has memorials at Arras in France, Louth in Lincolnshire and Mobberley in Cheshire. Florence left a lovely obituary which ends "What thou do O Lord, we knowest not now, but we shall know hereafter". She must have missed him because she never remarried. We, his descendants, thank him and all who fought for their sacrifice.
