S/Sgt. Joseph William Heaver
Canadian Army Artillery
I am doing my family tree and trying to find all the information I can about Joseph William Heaver. On his son's birth certificate his occupation is 'Staff-sargent Canadian Artillery (train conductor)'. This is very confusing, as his son was born in Folkestone, Kent, in 1916 to my great-grandmother. Can anyone explain this puzzle.

In researching my family history, I discovered that this gentleman is my great uncle. I know nothing about Nathan Hebb except I have discovered that he was killed in action on 27 May 1918 age 24. His is remembered with honour at Hedauville Communal Cemetery Extension.
A long shot but it would be lovely to find out more both about him and the battle in which he took part on that day. I have looked on but I couldn't work out where the 19th Btn. were on the day of Nathan's death.

Alfred Heden served with the 13th Battalion London Regiment in WW1. He joined the UK Territorial Force in 1911 while still in education and became a clerk in civilian life. War broke out while he was his on summer training camp and he volunteered for active service.
He trained at Abbots Langley and then went to France from Southampton on 3rd of November 1914. He saw action at Neuve Chapelle in March 1915 and on 9th of May 1915, at Aubers Ridge, he was seen to fall, shot through the lungs. He was reported killed in action on this day but, in fact, he had been taken prisoner, alive but wounded. His family learnt of this nearly 2 months later when they received a letter from him to say that he was still alive but wounded and a POW. Tragically he died of his wounds whilst in captivity on the 25th July 1915, a short time after his family received the letter, at the age of just 20. He is buried in Valenciennes (St Roch) Communal Cemetery. in France. Son of Alfred and Hannah Heden of 11 Grove Rd., Barnes, London.

2nd Lt. Frederick William Hedges VC.
British Army 6th Btn. Bedfordshire Regiment
from:Godmanchester, Huntingdonshire.
Pte. John Hedges
British Army 8th Btn. East Surrey Regiment
from:Kingston on Thames
John Hedges was my grandfather. All I know is that he served with the 8th East Surrey Regiment. We always had a photo of him in uniform holding two grey horses by the reins. We do know he was in France on the Somme, also that he was gassed at some point. Records show he suffered afterwards from it. We think maybe he took part in the football advance (again, not confirmed). Unfortunately, he died during WW2 of peritonitis (not in service). As far as I know, he never discussed the war, and although he has two survivors still alive, little is known. The picture of him is being hunted down as I write this and, if found, could be of significance.
