TATTERSALL, HARRY SHAW. Private. No PO/1223 (S). Royal Marine Light Infantry. Portsmouth Division, Born Linthwaite. Son of Thomas and Helena Tattersall, 1 Lowerhouses, Linthwaite. Employed as a spinner by Messrs Thomas, Bates and Son, Platt Mill, Slaithwaite and previously at Messrs J. Crowther and Sons of Milnsbridge. Attended Linthwaite Church, where he had been a choirboy, and was a member of the Young Men's Class. Played football for the Pymroyd (Milnsbridge) Association football club. Enlisted in December 1915. Was stationed at Gosport, near Portsmouth, and was drafted to Ireland to take part in the quelling of the rebellion.
