I remember Hubert Lawrence who lived with his sister at Weasle Cottage, Washall Green. He was a batchelor who worked on the farm here all his life apart from his time in the army in World War 1 and as a POW after his capture on the Somme.
There were also Lawrences at Black Hall Farm (now destroyed). I was recently told that one of them, Stan I think, Had been cheated out of the Victoria Cross which he deserved. I know no futher details such as which war, I suspect WW1, nor which regiment.
Does anybody know anything more?
