letter from H E Dixon (senior) in the local newspaper lists J
Green as being in the New Army.
He had married Ada Lattimore (daughter of John and Sibberina
Lattimore of Park Street) and they had a daughter Ada in 1910.
He is possibly Private 538237 RAMC, who joined on 2nd Sept
1914 and was discharged on 8th May 1919, presumably no
longer being fit to continue in the war.
GREEN Robert
Possibly Private 16484 12th Lancers, Royal Warwickshire
Regiment
Robert Green was born 1887 in Kings Cliffe to Julia Saunders/Green.
Robert Green was, in fact, registered at birth as Robert Thomas
Saunders, his mother’s name, and took the name of Green
when his mother, Julia Saunders married Frederick Green. (See
Arthur Green story, for details of Robert’s childhood.)
Robert was not with his family during the 1911 census, nor can
he be found elsewhere in the UK. It may be that he had already
joined the army by that time and was overseas.
GREEN Thomas Ewart
Private 42253 10th Worcester Regiment
Private 32033 West Riding Regiment
Born in 1891, Thomas was the son of John Ventross and
Elizabeth Green of Park Street, Kings Cliffe.
He was the younger brother of Herbert Ventross Green. In 1915
he married Eleanor Hardy in Huddersfield, where he worked on
the railways.
Thomas enlisted in Hudderfield in the West Riding Regiment
but was then transferred to the 10th Battalion of the Worcester
Regiment which, had been involved in heavy fighting in the early
days of the war. At some point he was captured by the Germans
and sent to a POW camp. In 1918, whilst still in captivity, he
succumbed to the deadly influenza outbreak. This influenza
was unusual in that it didn’t attack the young, elderly and weak,
but mainly affected the fit. He died in Lobbes prisoner of war
hospital in Belgium, close to Tournai. His death was just three
