Albert Edward was born in Wokingham in about 1886, one of about 11 children born to Sarah and Abraham Langley.
He served in the Royal Berkshire Regiment, 2nd Battalion and was killed on 2nd April 1918, sadly his body was never recovered from the battlefield but his name is commemorated on the Pozieres memorial to the missing .
He married in April 1911 and according to the local paper after his death he left a wife and child. To date we do not know who they were.
Albert Langley was my great grand uncle. He was born in 1883 in Wokingham and married Gertrude M Willis in 1911. They had two daughters, Florence born in 1912 and Doris who was born in 1914 but died in 1915. Albert’s sister Margaret Jane was my great grandmother. I have a lot more information about the family if you would like more please do let me know.
Albert langley was also my great grand uncle. I am the great grandson of his brother Edwin James Langley. I believe another brother William died at the Somme
