G'day Folks My grandfather served in WW 1 and survived. He is Charles William Tricker, from Boxford, Suffolk. Born, raised, lived, married, worked, died and buried in Boxford, Suffolk. Some folks suggested I put up his name on this forum. And yes when you look for him, you will turn up lots and lots of Trickers from Suffolk. Trouble is a lot of are all related to me! :-)) regards eddie tricker Australia

Hi Eddie As you say there are a few TRICKERs around Suffolk Now you didn't say when he was born or who his parents were, was yours the one born 1877 ? Parents Charles & Sarah ? If so there does not appear to be a trace of him in the WW1 service or so called pension records but as only approximately one third survived WW2 its not surprising Do you have his medals by any chance? There are two medal cards for a Charles TRICKER who served with the Suffolk Regiment as follows ============== TRICKER Charles W Suffolk Regiment Private 17907 Labour Corps 696787 Entered Theatre of War (France) 11th March 1915 1915 Star Victory Medal British War Medal Address 58 Gibson Street, St Helens, Ipswich =============== TRICKER Charles Suffolk Regiment Private 8274 Entered Theatre of War (France) 16th January 1915 1915 Star Victory Medal British War Medal ================ If you have his medals there will be his number around the rim of them Do either ring any bells ? Nothing else found unfortunately If the man I mentioned above born 1877 is not yours let me know who his parents were and when born Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > G'day Folks > My grandfather served in WW 1 and survived. > > He is Charles William Tricker, from Boxford, Suffolk.
