Stanley was my grandfathers brother. Born in Newport Pagnell Buckinghamshire, he appears on the 1901 census, but after that I can find nothing apart from the registration of his will in 1918. Family legend has it that he was lost in WWI maybe at sea, but I can't confirm this. He doesn't appear on the British legion site or the CWGC site either. Has anybody got any ideas of where else I can try. :-S

(if the Stanley, 1901 Caldecote Street, Newport Pagnell, below looks to relate)

http://www.mkheritage.co.uk/mkha/mkha/projects/jt/letters/docs/letters/l-newport-pagnell.html


1915 Oct. 16th
Trooper Hugh Warren, of the Royal Bucks Hussars, had a miraculous escape during the fighting in Gallipoli, when, whilst he was fetching water for tea, a shell burst three yards in front of him. Fortunately he avoided being struck by any shell splinters, but with the concussion having rendered him deaf, and with a discharge from both ears, he is now at the Floriana Military Hospital, Malta. In a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. Warren, of Caldecote Street, Newport Pagnell, he writes;

“I am thankful to say I am alive. It is a miracle that I am. I have had a lot of close shaves before.”

At the beginning of the war he volunteered for the Royal Bucks Hussars, and became a member of the regiment’s gun section. Whilst in Cairo, when volunteers for infantry service were required for the Dardanelles he readily offered his services, and subsequently survived the battle of Chocolate Hill unscathed. A noted footballer, before the war he was employed in the electrical department at Wolverton Carriage Works as an engineer and fitter.


(1911. 18 Caldecote Street, says 6 children born, 5 living 1 died)

Result, the will was a false lead. My Great uncle is the lad of 15 who died on board the East African in 1906. Hugh was one of his brothers. Thank you all so much for your help. :-)
