Commemorated
Not commemorated on any Tipton memorial, but commemorated on the Mersey Ironworks Memorial, Ellesmere Port.
Any other info
The Icke family moved from Tipton to Birkenhead at some stage between the 1911 census and Samuel enlisting in Birkenhead in August 1914. It is likely that the family moved for work purposes as the Wolverhampton Corrugated Iron Company had moved its operations from Wolverhampton to Ellesmere Port around 1905, and renamed itself as the Mersey Ironworks. Samuel is commemorated on the Mersey Ironworks Memorial.
