Chailey Parish Magazine notes between January and April 1916 that Albert Setford has attested.  He does not however appear elsewhere in the magazine and I am assuming that he was not called upon to serve.

 

He was born around 1879 in East Chiltington and at the time the 1901 census was taken was a 21 year old grocer’s assistant living at Roeheath Cottage number one with his 23 year old wife Ellen.  The grocer concerned was probably George Martin who ran a grocer’s and draper’s shop at South Street.
