Little is known about this man and no convincing connection to Chailey has been established to date.

 

In December 1915, Chailey Parish Magazine notes: Tester, Driver E 2nd Div Indian Cavalry, France.  His name appears for the last time – still with the Indian Cavalry – in December 1917.

 

He is possibly Alfred Edward Tester, born at Ringmer in 1890 and whose birth was registered at Lewes the same year but there are no convincing matches for a man of that name serving with the Indian Cavalry.
