(Biographical information from the Roll
of Honour website;-
Born 1890, Harleston, Norfolk, son of Maurice William and Eliza Meadows (nee
Dunn). Edward’s parents and siblings were living in Rushall Road, Starston
in 1911, which probably accounts for his name appearing on the village memorial,
but there is no evidence that Edward himself ever lived in the Starston.)
