WW1 Street Memorial
Hello Terry,
I can now confirm that the Charles Minchin named on the memorial
was indeed a Gt Uncle of mine. He enlisted in September 1914, drafted
to France 3 months later. He was in a battle at Ypres, & fell at Neuve
Chapelle & died 15/03/1915. He is buried at Dickebusch Military cemetery.
His adddress given at his enlistment was:
29 MILLWARD STREET, & in fact this is the same address that his parents
were living at. So I am wondering if this Greenway Street Memorial was a combined one, perhaps including chaps from nearby streets who also died in WW1. Maybe this why Greenway street only appears after a few names? Any thoughts on this ??
Margaret.
