I note that he was killed on the same day as J E Missett of 2 Zulu Street. I remember being told that my grandmother had lost two brothers on the same day - they were apparently sharing the same accommodation that was hit by a shell. This is a fascinating book - I note that my grandfather also lost a brother - T Sadler of 4 Zulu Street, who was killed at Ypres on 29th December 1915.

Misset of 2,Zulu St.was lucky to survive the War.Fighting in the Battles he did. How did this man find the courage to keep going? The mind boggles at what they had to put up with, and even after being wounded he still kept on going back!

Hello, I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I repeat what is already known.My father's family lived in this area (Cromwell, Cambridge & Pollard Streets in the 1890's & early 1900's and always referred to part of Newtown as 'The Jungle' which included Tiger Street and possibly Lion Street as well as the Zulus.RakebeckBob
