Letters and documents

BX May 5, 1915

A list of Canadian casualties published at Ottawa early this morning contains the name of Private Albert Edward Nuttycombe, whose next of kin is given as residing at Netley, England. He was reported as wounded in the recent fighting at Ypres, and a member of the 4th Battalion with which most of the first contingent of Dufferin Rifles are connected. On enquiry here it was learned that Pte. Nuttycombe resided at the time of his enlistment at 4 Ontario Street, the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bowden. His parents live in Nutley, Plymouth, England, Private Nuttycombe having come to Canada four years ago and having resided in Brantford since that time. He is a single man, and was employed prior to his going on active service with Bennett and Bowden, the well known local contractors. By trade he was a carpenter. Private Alfred Edward Nuttycombe will probably be best known through his active association with the Tutela football team, he being identified with the organization in various capacities since his advent to Brantford. He served for three years with the Dufferin Rifles.

Private Nuttycombe, who is of a quiet and unassuming disposition, nevertheless comes of fighting stock. Though details are at present lacking, it is understood that he has several brothers on active service at the present time. One brother is in the Royal navy, while others are with him fighting for their country in France.
