Soldiers of the Regiment Private Arthur Edward Atherton From his daughter: “He was born in Liverpool in 1899 and I seem to
think he was with another regiment before the King’s Own. Towards the
end of the war he and his fellow soldiers rushed through France and up
to the Front line. The following morning they would have been in the
midst of battle but that very day everything stopped and peace was
declared. My mother and I used to tease him and say that the Germans
capitulated when they heard that he was next in battle!”
