PRIVATE LLEWELLYN BRICK
DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S REGIMENT
3RD SEPTEMBER 1916 AGE 23
BURIED: MILL ROAD CEMETRY, FRANCE
"Au revoir LLew", a simple farewell to Private Llewellyn Brick who came from Lindley, a suburb of Huddersfield, Yorkshire. Before the war, Llewellyn Brick worked in the woollen industry as a machine tenter - someone who stretched the newly dyed cloth over a frame to dry - as did several members of the family: father, Austin, was a worsted worker, and sister Edith a hank winder. Austin Brick originally came from Newtown, Montgomeryshire (Powys), which perhaps explains the Welsh name he gave his son.
