Miscellaneous Items
This embroidered item was the property of a Private Alfred Wilde, number
8992, King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment. Private Wilde is known
to have served with the 1st Battalion of the King's Own prior to the
First World War and records show he was with them between 1906 and at
least 1910. He went overseas to the Western Front on 27th August
1914 which suggests he was not with the 1st Battalion on the outbreak of
war, but may be recalled from the Reserve and joined the 1st Battalion a
few days after they had arrived in France, and on the day after the
Battle of Le Cateau.
