The “Soldiers Died in the Great War” database has an entry for Lance Corporal Emanuel Lamb, 1756, 1/5th Essex which reads:
“Died 3rd May 1916. Born Bramford Suffolk. Buried Cairo war memorial cemetery.”
His birth was registered in the third quarter of 1892 in the Bosmere Registration District.
In 1901 he turns up with his father, Henry (born 1867 in Kent), and brothers Henry (born 1886 in Suffolk) and George (born 1894 in Little Totham) in Little Totham Essex.
His medal card confirms he was with the 1st/5th Essex and shows that he entered the war in the Balkans on 9th August 1915 landing with his regiment at Gallipoli.
