Henry "Harry" Iball (Buckley Flintshire ww1)

Disgrifiadau

Henry Iball (front left) was born in Buckley in 1897 and was so keen to join the Army in 1915 that he lied about his age and told them he was the minimum age of eighteen when he was really only seventeen. He was known as Harry Iball and survived the war with no serious injury and came back to live in Buckley and to marry Gertrude Price in 1920. Henry then went back to coal mining and worked in the collieries at Gresford and Llay but became ill with a bad chest from all the coal dust he breathed in underground while working, and he gave up coal mining in 1941. They had four daughters and one son and they lived in Church Road, Buckley opposite "The Hut". Henry Iball died in 1957.
