In 2020 I was contacted by the great grandson of Alfred Hale who had died from Tuberculosis in 1918, after having been discharged from the South Staffs in 1916 due to sickness. It was suggested that the A. Hale on the Tipton Memorial would have been Alfred, and I agree. The difficulty in finding Alfred was because he is not commemorated by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, and so did not look like a military death.
This is saying it could be an Alfred Hale. I wonder if his service number can be searched?

Thank you kdw!
The other Arthur I think is this one
First name(s) Arthur
Last name Hale
Age 28
Birth year 1889
Birth county Staffordshire
Birth country England
Service number 39880
Regiment Staffordshire Regiment
Unit / Battalion 5th Battalion
Year 1917
Residence town Wolverhampton
Looks like he was a bit naughty, deserting and stealing a horse in service! He married Harriet Lambert and was living 41 /42 Hill Street Ruiton Upper Gornal 1911.
So it must be the right Arthur and for that grave.
