states Headstone states "Killed by Enemy Action".
It is believed that she was buried in the same

"My grandfather was her second son Samuel
(1885-1966). Her fifth son was Harold (b. 1896)
who played rugby for Swinton RLFC in the early

Another relative - Phillip Pearce in Australia,
informs me that Herbert and Elizabeth lived in
London and were employed at a battery factory
there. They were only visiting Manchester to stay
with Herbert's mother - Sarah Jane Unsworth, over
the Christmas holidays - an unfortunate case of
being in the wrong place at the wrong time!
