Ward Albert, Wolseley Football Team

Albert Francis Ward was the son of Albert Ward & Harriet Quinn, born
14th February 1908. The family lived in Arthur Street, Small Heath.
Albert was a wonderful sportsman playing football for the works Wolseley football team and he ran at Birchfield Harriers. He was also a member of the TA and always came first in their cross country runs.
Sadly, Albert died aged just 25 years when he was taken ill and it emerged that he had suffered from heart problems which had been undetected at birth.
If anyone remembers Albert & has any pictures of him from his sporting days I would love to hear from you please.

Thank you.
Brock.
