Private Albert Tatner

266886 Private Albert Tatner
10th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers
Age 39
Killed in action 20 September 1917
Buried at Ypres Reservoir Cemetery

Husband of Rose Amy Tatner, of 298, Wilmot St., Bethnal Green, London. Native of Dartford, Kent.

Albert Tatner was an employee of Truman, Hanbury, Buxton brewers.

His age and the fact he was serving with a New Army battalion that was raised in Newcastle seems to indicate he had been conscripted.

Presumably he was killed during the Battle of Menin Road, which began on 20 September 1917.
