Hello,
My name is Sandra, my husband and I are planning a trip to visit the grave of Pte Samuel Andrews who was killed in action on 28 May 1918. He lies at rest in Chambrecy cemetery, to our knowledge no member of the family has ever been to visit his grave.
He originated from Sutton Coldfield, possibly joined Worcs before outbreak of WWI.
Service No 140564, he was in the 8th Battalion MGC, 4COY, when killed.
We have a newspaper clip which gives a small photograph of him, details of when he was killed, and that his mother lived at West Bromwich. His father was alive, but there is no mention of him!
We would dearly love to know whether Sam had been married, he would have been 31yrs old when he died, having served 3yrs 9months in the Army.
Could anyone tell e where we could find details of next of kin? We would be so very grateful.
Thanks for reading this,
Sandra
