Biography
Harold Sears was born in the winter of 1900 at Chenies in Buckinghamshire. He was one of two children born to Walter and Alice Sears. The family lived at Mill Cottage, Flaunden at the time of the 1901 Census, and Walter was listed working as a Garden Labourer. By 1911 the family had moved to Pest House Lane, Chapelcroft, Chipperfield, where Walter worked as a Jobbing Gardener.
Harold was first recorded in the Abbots Langley Parish Magazine Roll of Honour in July 1918, serving with the Bedfordshire Regiment, and at some point before the final Roll was published in December 1918 he had been transferred to the 3rd Battalion of the Suffok Regiment. Harold was listed in the Absent Voter Lists for Spring and Autumn 1919, where he was recorded still serving with the 3rd Suffolk’s. He gave his address at Railway Terrace, Abbots Langley.
Harold Sears survived the War.
