Biography
Herbert Maunders was born in 1899 at Leverstock Green. He was one of five children (four sons and one daughter) born to Albert and Alice Maunders. At the time of the 1901 Census the family lived at Brickfield, Bennetts End, Hemel Hempstead, where Albert worked as a General Labourer. By the time of the 1911 Census the family had moved to Nolton’s Cottage, Bedmond, and Albert worked as a Farm Labourer.
Herbert was first recorded in the Abbots Langley Parish Magazine Roll of Honour in March 1917, serving with the 2nd Training Reserve. It is uncertain if Herbert volunteered or was conscripted or when he transferred from a Training Battalion to a unit at the Front, or with which unit he was serving. However in December 1917 the Parish Magazine reported that Herbert had been wounded. He was not recorded in the Parish Records from the next month, January 1918,and it is assumed that he survived the War.
Herbert’s father, Albert Maunders, also served, and was first recorded in the Abbots Langley Parish Magazine Roll of Honour in January 1918, when he would have been 46 years old.
Herbert and Albert Maunders both survived the War.
