Trinity 15th Battalion 1st Salford Pals Captains G Y Heald Geoffrey Yates Heald officer commanding B Company He was born 16/11/95 the son of William and Sarah Ann Heald of Northfield Urmston. His father worked for Williams Deacon Bank in Manchester, and he had an elder brother Oliver and a sister Ms Jessie E Hadfield of 4 Old Hall Lane Worsley. Geoffrey won a scholarship to Manchester Grammar School , where he was in the OTC ,and he became a sergeant in St Clements Church Lads Brigade Urmston. He was an actuarial clerk with the Refuge Assurance Co. Manchester. From 1st Salford Pals L/Cpl Fairburn was in B Company under Captain Heald. "He led us very bravely , shouting to us -"Come on Salford ,in at them" I saw him with my own eyes take out his revolver and shoot three Bosches down, then he was hit while assisting A Company, whom we had then caught up. Whatever his fate ,he was a hero. Private W Evans , who was about 20 yards to the left of him , also saw Captain Heald hit by machine gun fire, and said he was killed instantly. Captain A Lee Wood Alfred Lee Wood Born 25/5/86, he was the son of James(died1912) ad Maria Ann Wood of Elm House Bolton Rd Clifton, where his father was the secretary of the Clifton & Kearsley Coal Company. His brother Percy of nearby Oakwood , became the General Manager. Alfred later lived with his mother at Arundel Bramhall Cheshire. He went to Southport University, and he gained a BSc at Manchester University. His brother Arthur was a director of the Lancashire Dynamo&Motor Co , and Alfred became the firms representative in India. He was commissioned Lieutenant 12/10/14, and promoted to Captain November 1915. His servant Private G Hutton recalled that on 1st July "the Captain was standing below the parapet, smoking a cigarette and glancing at his wrist watch. At 7:30 sharp , he leapt over the parapet followed by his men. A tornado of bullets was encountered from every side. Barely 50 yards had been covered when he was hit by a bullet which grazed his head. Without pausing he went on a little further, when a second bullet struck the Captain on the head, and at that moment I was struck in the leg. Turning to me Captain Wood asked "Are you badly hit" I replied "Yes sir I cant go on. He then ordered me to try and get back to the trench, I begged him to come back with me but he said "No I will get that machine gunner". He was a brave man ,and one of the best. I volunteered to carry him to the stretcher bearers , back in the trench his last words were "Am I dreaming" Wendy As well as having a stained glass window at St. Anne's, Clifton (illustrated on this website) Alfred Lee Wood has his name on the war memorial in Bramhall, Stockport. The family home by then was "Arundel", Bramhall. (One small correction: it was a school he attended in Southport, which does not have a university. Judging from the 1901 census, which caught him as a 14 year old, he lived with his spinster aunt and bachelor uncle on Windsor Road, Southport while at school. By coincidence, another man on the Bramhall war memorial had attended a Southport school, a boarding school, Rockley House. If Rockley House, which presumably also admitted local day boys, was able to attract boys from greater Manchester, perhaps this is the school ALW attended.)
