Edwin Thomas Mattock was my Grandmother's brother and i had not seen this article before. His two brothers survived the war. Compared with some others who died that day Edwin has a grave at Theipval Cemetery. In our family he has not been forgotten.

Sorry, I didn't see James Henry Atherton on the list. Here's his entry in District at War: The gravestone of James Atherton (died 1888) in Irlam Parish Church has the following engraving ‘Also James Henry son of the above, beloved husband of Elsie Atherton died in action in France September 24th 1918 aged 32 years.’ Apart from the mention on his father’s headstone at Irlam it does not appear that James Henry Atherton had any other connection with the Irlam and Cadishead district. His details are as follows: ATHERTON, James Henry. Corporal 26611, 1st Battalion, Machine Gun Corps (Infantry). Born Patricroft. He enlisted at Manchester into the Royal Fusiliers, Pte P/S/7116. He was later transferred to the Machine Gun Corps. Killed in action 24th September 1918. Buried at Vadencourt British Cemetery, Maissemy, Aisne, France. Medal Entitlement: Pair. His death was reported in the Eccles Journal, dated 18th October 1918 which reported: ‘Corpl. James Henry Atherton, youngest son of the late Mr. James Atherton and Mrs. Atherton, Stanley Arms Hotel, Patricroft, was killed in action on Sept. 24th. Corpl. Atherton was well known in the sporting world – both in cricket and football. For six years he was on the ground staff at Old Trafford, and several times assisted the Lancashire second team in their games, and in the season of 1914 he was engaged as a professional to the Lowerhouse club. Under the Association code he kept goal both for the Eccles Borough club and York City. He had been in France two and a half years, having joined the Colours in the spring of 1915. He enlisted in a public schools Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers, and was later transferred to the Machine Gun Corps. Educated at Patricroft Parish Church Day Schools, he afterwards took up cricket as a professional, and was regarded by all who came into contact with him as a thorough sportsman. He was 32 years of age. On his marriage, about 18 months ago, he resided at 30, Glendinning-st., Seedley. He leaves a widow and one child.’ |
