Pte. Albert Edward Fletcher
British Army 4th Btn. Northamptonshire Regiment
from:Eltisley, Cambridgeshire
My great-uncle Albert Fletcher was born in East London, in June 1896. He was placed in Barnardo's care in 1904. At some point, he was released to his father, Alfred Fletcher, and they moved to his father's birthplace in Eltisley to work as farm labourers. He joined the 4th Northamptonshire Regiment at St. Neots. He was made prisoner of war by the Germans during WW1. He survived but died in the Caxton Workhouse on 19th of November, 1922. He was buried at St. Pandonia and St. John the Baptist Church in Eltesly.
