Private Anthony Diamond. 

7134 1st East Lancashire Regiment.

Killed in Action 7th November 1914, aged 34.

Anthony was born in the Dec. quarter 1880, Burnley. The son of Martin Diamond and ?? McCale.

In the 1911 census Anthony was a boarder with his sister Mary Ann Diamond who was married to Mr. William Atkinson of 13 Cog Lane. Anthony was single and a labourer at the colliery.

We learn from Anthony’s Army Register of Effects, that he left them to his father, Martin and sister Mary Ann Atkinson. I cannot find anything else about him, possibly he had been a soldier in the T.A. as he was in the war from the start.

Anthony lived at 13 Cog Lane, Burnley.

 Anthony is commemorated on the Ploegsteert Memorial, Belgium: Panel 5 & 6.
