6243 Pte Alfred Fenton, 3rd Bn, Coldstream Guards

6243 Private Alfred Fenton of the 3rd Battalion, Coldstream Guards was killed in action on the 25th August 1914. His number suggests that he'd originally joined the regiment around May 1905, and Soldiers Died in the Great War tells us that he was born in Oldbury, Worcestershire, was living at Noldbury (sic), and enlisted at Birmingham. He was 30 years old, the son of Thomas and Mrs P Fenton of 6 Parsonage Street, Tat Bank, Oldbury, Birmingham. He is buried in Landrecies Communal Cemetery.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
