Police Sgt Pitcher died at Cradley Heath June 1 1903.
Could you please send me a copy of this story? My Grandfathers brother was in the police & stayed In England when they Emigrated to NZ. I believe this is either him or his uncle.

Thanks for the help. David Pitcher.

During the war a number of householders kept chickens in their backgardens and I believe Mr Biggs took their surplus eggs and sold them to selected customers of which my mother was one.
She placed a regular order and I was instructed to collect them on my way back from school, supplementing our ration I suppose. He was a very quiet gentleman as I recall who I understand was married to the lady on the cake stall. Anyone else remember them ?
