Sadly for Alfred Salt, he has no known grave and is therefore commemorated on the Thiepval memorial. I have recently received information regarding my great uncles who served in the first world war. I also have many photographs that my cousin has found with soldiers, but unfortunately I have no names on the photos. I will get them scanned and upload them onto this site, which may help me but also they may help other families who recognise anyone they know.

Alexander Sambridge (Sambidge) was my father's brother. I began researching his history in 2013 and came across a beautiful card, with French lace and embroidered lilac flowers and the sentiment "To My Dear Mother". The card reads: "I send my best wishes to you all at home and a bright and happy Xmas. Love to you all. From your loving son, Alex"
Alexander is buried in Forenville Military Cemetery in Nord, France.I am very glad to have learned about my uncle's wartime service. It has allowed me to say "Thank you" to him; he was a young man with his whole life ahead of him.
Pte. Albert Sambucci
British Army 11th Btn. Royal Sussex Regiment
from:Brighton
(d.3rd Jun 1916)
My grandad Albert Sambucci was just 23 when he died near Cambrin, France. He is buried in Cambrin Church extension cemetery. Prior to enlistment he was working in the family ice cream business in Brighton. His family had come from Italy in the early 1800s. He was married and had a son, Loreto, who was only two when his dad was killed. He also had a baby daughter, Philomena, who was born after his departure for France so he never saw her.
His letters speak of the cold and lice-ridden blankets. He also mentioned being made a bomber and trench raids. He said on one occasion it took him 2.5 hours to cover 120 yards from no mans land back to his trench. His last letter written just two days before his death said he was in the pink and hopeful of some leave. On the day that he was killed the Battalion diary states that three other ranks were killed when Sap15 was blown in, then an hour later two other ranks were shot by sniper fire, so we do not know the circumstances of his last moments.

L/Cpl. Frederick William Sample

from:Kirkbymoorside
(d.14th Sep 1916)
My uncle Fred Sample was killed on 14th of September 1916 during the night attack on the Wonderworks strongpoint above Authuille. He was a machine gunner and had spent time guarding the Suez Canal in Egypt and on the front line near Arras in July and August. The Battalion moved to the Somme on the 3rd of September. Letters from his comrades say that he was buried "at a point East of Authuille" but the grave was lost during the subsequent fighting. His name appears on the Thiepval memorial.
He was born in Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire in September 1895 and worked with his father as a boot, shoe and clog maker from the age of 13 until joining the army in 1914. His mother opened a cafe, used during the war by soldiers recuperating at Welburn Hall near to Kirkbymoorside. All his letters and other material are in the North Yorkshire County Record Office at Northallerton.
