My grandfather was buried here in 1918. He was in the Duke of Cambridge's Own, Isle of Wight 33rd Middlesex Regiment based at Reading (Aliens) Division 71 & 72.
WWI FRIENDLY ALIENS AND THE BRITISH ARMY FRIENDLY ALIENS can now ENLIST in the British Army, and on the same terms as British-born Subjects. All Aliens of Military Age who have resided for some time in this Country and who are anxious to help should go to their Local Recruiting Office. The Recruiting Officer will tell them what they must do and will help them to select their regiment if found fit. Russian subjects of the Jewish Faith can either apply at their own Recruiting Office, or go to NEW COURT, ST. SWITHIN'S LANE, E.C. THE JEWISH WAR SERVICES COMMITTEE will help them into the Army and will send them to a Regiment where they have friends. DO NOT HESITATE BUT COME AT ONCE AND DO YOUR DUTY TO THE COUNTRY WHERE YOU CHOOSE TO RESIDE.
