Biography The son of John and Alice E Meredith of 14 Redland Road, Malvern Link; at the time of his death, Albert Meredith was engaged to Miss Lily Cole of Leigh. The following obituary was printed in the Malvern News on 3/7/15: “Pte Albert John Meredith, eldest son of Mr and Mrs John Meredith of 14 Redland Road, Malvern link has died of wounds received while on patrol duty. He was aged 25, and when War broke out was employed by Messrs Towndrow & Co, grocers of Malvern Link. Some years ago he served in the Malvern Battery of Artillery. Last September he joined the Malvern Chums Company and went to the front a week before Easter with the 8th Battalion of the Worcestershire Regiment. He was a member of the Mens Own Brotherhood and sympathetic reference was made to his death at the meeting of the Brotherhood last Sunday afternoon. “Lieutenant-Colonel Peake sent the following letter to Mr and Mrs Meredith, dated June 23rd: “I very much regret to inform you that your son, of this Battalion, died of wounds received in action at 7.40 pm last night. He was shot by a stray bullet the night before while out on a patrol: it pierced his abdomen. When he left here for the Field Ambulance he was cheery, and suffering very little pain, but died at Hospital in Bailleul the next evening. He was buried in the civil cemetery there this morning. I very much regret his loss, as he was a good soldier, and I am sure must have been a good son to you. You have my sincerest sympathy in your loss, which is, I am sure, shared by all your son’ s comrades.” To read the other tributes paid to Albert Meredith, click here
