George David Price, born 1893, was my grandfather and, sadly, died before I was born. He was posted to France on 20th July 1915. He survived the Great War, after being gassed and losing a leg and fathered 12 children. He died in 1952 in Bridgewater, Somerset. I would love to find out in which battle he lost his leg.
Pte. George Price

from:Wall Heath
(d.13th Oct 1915)
George Price was my Grandfather Richard's older brother, they enlisted together. They both came from a large family who lived in Wall Heath Staffordshire. I have my grandfather's three WWI service medals, a photo plus a moving letter he wrote to his parents on the 19th October 1915 which in a round about way breaks the news to his parents that George has been killed. My grandfather would have been about 17 years of age and George was 19. George was killed in action on 13th October 1915 at the Battle of Loos. He has no known grave.

2nd Lt Hugh Price
British Army 3rd (Reserve) Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment
from:Whitley Bay
(d.11th Oct 1918)
My father's eldest brother, 2nd Lieutenant Hugh Price, died in the Battle of Cambrai on 11th October 1918, aged 27, the day before the German High Command requested an armistice. He was serving attached to the 7th Btn. Duke of Wellington's West Riding Regiment. His parents, Daniel and Kate Price lived at 2 Delaval Road, Whitley Bay, along with my father Cecil Price, who was too young to service in the Great War. Daniel was born in Wales and Kate was from Sheffield. Daniel's first language was Welsh. I have never seen a photograph of Hugh or his fiancee and all I know is that he was engaged to be married and that his fiancee never married. Kate Price never got over the loss of Hugh and she died in Whitley Bay in 1953, where she lived in Stanley Crescent with my mother and father. Daniel Price was a draper by trade and I believe Hugh was as well. I recall that Hugh had been working in London before he joined the Army. All the male members of the Price family were in St. Paul's (CofE) choir in Whitley Bay, from about 1903, when they moved from Hartlepool to Whitley Bay. My father Cecil died at the age of 97 in 1999. My mother Vera died in 2018 at the age of 95. I would greatly appreciate being able to see a photograph of 2nd Lieut Hugh Price.

Pte. Leslie Price
British Army 18th Btn. The King's (Liverpool Regiment)
from:Aigburth, Liverpool
(d.26th Feb 1916)
Aigburth Pal Killed.
Information has been received that Private Leslie Price, of the 18th Service Battalion (2nd Pals) King's (Liverpool Regiment) was killed by a sniper in France. Private Price was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. John Price of 3 Ashbourne-road, Aigburth, and was twenty-two years of age. He was educated at the Liverpool Institute, an had been in the employ of the Liverpool Gas company for about seven years, being in the treasurer's department.
He joined the Pals, on 31st of August 1914, and went to France with his regiment on November 7th last. Private Price was greatly liked by all who knew him, being popular with his comrades.
In a letter to his parents, Captain Brocklebank writes- "Your dear son fell at his post on duty. Death was practically instantaneous, and in any case he suffered no pain. He was shot through the head. It might console you to know how highly he was thought of by all the officers, N.C.O.'s, and men in his company. He was never the slightest trouble, always willing, cheerful, and ready to do any work that was wanted. No one had had any easy time in the trenches lately, and the weather has been bad, but I never heard your son once complain. We have lost a splendid soldier and a Christian gentleman".
A chum of Private Price's, Private John Irving of Mersey-road, Aigburth, who was with him when he was killed, was wounded the following night in the neck, and is now in hospital at Manchester.
During his training Private Price won the silver spoon of his battalion in a rifle competition at Salisbury Plain last October.
