In memory of those who fought and died, 
Joseph Winn (bellringer) and Arthur Harrison
Joseph Winn was born in Bentham in 1875 but grew up at Ashleys farm in Tatham which was farmed by his parents Leonard and Ellen. His younger brother, John, later farmed at Millhouses farm and then at Lane Head farm, Millhouses. Joseph, however, appears to have left the district. In both 1901 and 1911 censuses he was returned as a mole catcher  -in Leicestershire, first at Coleorton and then in Ashby de la Zouch.Joseph enlisted initially at Coalville, Leicestershire in the South Staffordshire Regiment but was transferred as a private in the Prince of Wales Volunteers (South Lancashire Regiment) 5th Battalion, 55th Division.Joseph died on 22 May 1918 and is buried in Houchin British Cemetery (memorial reference I.B. 16) aged 43. His next of kin was his brother John who gave his address as Mill House farm Tatham.. He left £492.














Thank you,
David
