Edward Price was the husband of Annie E. Price of 18, Orchard Street, Reading. His name appears in the Roll of Honour published in the Standard on 26th December 1914. It is possible that he was a Reservist, as such he would have been called up quickly on the outbreak of war. His address at the time was given as 49, Cumberland Road. The 1911 census however, indicates that he was a Tin Plater at Huntley and Palmers Biscuit Factory. He had been married for one year and had a baby son and the family lived at 4 Norton Road, Reading.
The notification of death in the Standard 21st May 1921, states that he died in Orpington, Kent after a long and painful illness. He had been wounded by barbed wire. He was 36 years when he died.
The author has no other information about his term of service*.
The grave of Edward Price is marked with a CWGC war pattern headstone. Grave number 9603.
