CSM. Alfred Allbrighton MM,

British Army 11th Btn. West Yorkshire Regiment

from:Tamworth, Staffordshire

(d.20th Sep 1917)

Alfred Allbrighton is my great-great uncle. Born in Polesworth, Warwickshire, he joined 11th Battalion, The Prince of Wales' Own (West Yorkshire Regiment). He was killed on 20th of September 1917, and is remembered on the memorial wall at Tyne Cot, Belgium. There is no grave, as his body wasn't found. My son has visited Tyne Cot. The inscription states that Alfred "went over the top", the soldier next to him was shot, so Alfred picked him up and carried him back to the trench. On leaving the trench for a second time, Alfred was fatally shot. He was awarded the Military Medal.
