Please can anyone help me with information on Captain Joseph Herbert Wright of the 8th Bn Glos Regt. He was "Science Master at a School in Cinderford", probably a private school or possibly a Grammar School. I am researching the names on the war memorial in Wilsden, near Bradford and J. Herbert Wright is one of them. Born in Wilsden, he had an older sister, both of them became teachers. Herbert won the Military Cross in January 1917 and had been wounded in the eye the previous year, probably wore an eye patch. He was k.i.a. aged 33 on 25 March 1917. I would dearly love to have a photo of him. Any help most gratefully appreciated.
