A Teacher at the Manor Hall Mission. Employed by the English Textilose Co, Trafford Park. The 01/06/1940 edition of the Stretford News reports that he is training for his wings. Killed in a flying accident. Buried 20/12/1941 - Burial No. 2,157. His brother Martin Harry Oldnall also died on active service. This is a Special Memorial as the Churchyard was altered and some graves removed when Chester Rd was widened. Many gravestones were either removed or re-positioned. His headstone is now no longer directly over his grave, being positioned against the Church wall. Eleven of their uncles served in the 1st W.W. - one of them - George Head winning the DCM. | |||
