Stanley Neale was a milkman in Wandsworth. He volunteered in 1915 at the age of 40. His letters home reveal that training in Hampshire was hard, especially for a man of his age, and he contracted quinsy - possibly due to the strain of the of the physical exertion. He died in February 1916 in Aldershot, leaving a wife, a 13 year old daughter and a 6 year old son. His death has been remembered through the generations, and by his living descendants - a granddaughter, 2 great grandsons, and now 2 great great grandsons.
