Albert Ralph Chittock was related to me through his Great Grandparents, Robert and Fanny Chittock, {Peters}.
His Grandparents were , Jonathan and Eliza Chittock, {Kemp}.
His Parents were, Harry and Louisa Chittock, {Tupper}. I have his birth year as 1896, Swanscome Street, Canning Town, Essex.
I have great respect for him knowing he was Killed in Action on the 19th April 1916. It was Jacob Chittock, who was brother of Jonathan Chittock that my Tree is from.
I wonder if I could possibly have a photo of Albert Ralph's Grave, Best Regards, Mr Christopher Colton. Great Holland on Sea, Essex.
