Albert
Edward Bass was born in 1893 and baptised on 29 January 1893 at Holy Trinity
Church, Bishop's Stortford. On the 1901
Census, the family were living at 3 Bartholomew Road, Bishop's Stortford but by
the 1911 Census they had moved to 7 Bartholomew Road and he was living at home
with his parents and one of his sisters, and working as a Carman for a wine and
spirit merchant.
Wartime Service
He
initially enlisted into the Essex Regiment under Reg. No. 36583, later transferring to the East Surrey
Regiment under Reg. No. 25966.
Additional Information
His father George received pay owing of £2 4s 10d and his mother Alice received a war gratuity of £3. His father died in 1918 (which may be why the headstone inscription does not mention his father).
