Context

Ted Hubbard's home was at Sugnall, near Eccleshall, Staffordshire. His father was groom on the Sugnall estate until shortly before Ted’s death; he lost his job when the riding horses on the estate had to be destroyed because of the war. Only days before Ted’s death, Ted had helped his parents move house to the village of Croxton, about a mile away. Ted worked in a garage in Eccleshall before the war and was a member of the choir at Croxton Church, where he is buried. Courtesy of Kenneth Bowe and Stanley Holding.
