From Mr R W Wallbank
"The two Wallbank Brothers are
both my uncles. My late father Frank was
their brother. He didn't talk a lot about
them but this is as much as I know.
Richard (Dick) & John (Jack) came
from a family of ten children, four
brothers and six sisters. The other
brother was Tom and two of the sisters
were Nellie & Fanny, sadly I can't
remember the others. My father said that
Jack was killed at the first battle at
Ypres in 1914 and Dick at the second
battle at Ypres in 1915. They are also
both remembered with honour at the Ypres
Menin Gate Memorial.
My father Frank & Tommy were too
young for the army in 1914 but during the
Second World War Tommy joined up and my
father was a fireman in the AFS & NFS
working in various places including both
London & Manchester. Thankfully they
both came through the conflict safely.
Tommy died a few years before my Father
in the 1980s.
Richard being the eldest was named
after my Granddad and I was named after
him of which I'm very proud."

Mrs Irene
Marchment, now 85 years old, very kindly
supplied the following information about
her Father John Edward Wilson:
My Fathers name is on the
Lancaster Memorial. I go there every
Remembrance Sunday and put some flowers
on the Cenotaph. He was John Edward
Wilson, a Gunner, 164999 of the Royal
Garrison Artillery. He died on the 9th of
May 1918 and is buried in Plot 2 Row B
Grave 25 in The Penes British Cemetery
France. I have been to see his grave; it
was all very emotional, but I'm glad I
went. Some the pictures we took are shown
here. I was one year old on 13th
May 1918, and my Mother received a ten
shilling note for my birthday from my
Father; alas he was already dead. My Dad
worked as a labourer at Williamson's,
then later at the Theatre in Dalton
Square, the Hippodrome, which later
became the County Cinema and is now
Palatine House. I've still got his
commemorative Bronze medal and a picture
is also shown here. I hope this is of
some use to you.
