Week 12 - Albert William Cosser
Albert was the eldest child of Albert Henry Cosser and his wife. Agnes Mary nee Crane. He was born in 1887 in Pokesdown, Bournemouth, about three miles from where I live now.
By 1911 Albert had left home having recently married Nellie Olden and they lived in Boscombe, Bournemouth. Albert was a gardener.
As far as I can see Albert and Nellie didn't have any children together.
Albert joined the Hampshire regiment (Private 25849), but his medal card doesn't include any dates and his service record does not seem to have survived.
Albert died on 21 Dec 1916 and was buried at Sailly-Saillisel British Cemetery, Somme, France.
Nellie didn't remarry, and remained in the Bournemouth/Christchurch area until her death in 1967.
