On a recent visit to the WW1 Wellington Quarry museum builtinto part of the tunnels under the city of Arras, France I discovered apostcard in a display cabinet in the entrance which may have a connection tome!
The card was written from Bert Holloway to A Clarke, No.1 bk 72 Booth StHandsworth B’ham on Tuesday 20[SUP]th[/SUP] June 1916 (see photograph).
My dad Robert William Clarke was born 11[SUP]th[/SUP]January 1905 at back of 104 Booth Street, Handsworth and his dad Robert WilliamJames Clarke had a brother Albert born 22[SUP]nd[/SUP] November 1881.
Could this be the A Clarke Bert’s postcardwas written to?
I am sure some of thesuper investigators on this site can find out more about the back to backs inBooth Street in the early 1900s and maybe even who lived where.
