Vivian,
I have no personal interest.
I would think that the one mentioned below is
Samuel, Son, Unm, 8, Derby mentioned by Chris above. I base that on the fact the two addresses are about 3/4 mile apart . The age given below is 37years whereas on the Commonwealth War Grave site is listed as 34 years.
"Mrs Wagg of 2 Angel Yard, Burton Road, Derby, has received official information that her husand Pte S. Wagg of The Sherwood Foresters was killed in action on July 1st at the commencement of the british offensive on The Somme . Private Wagg who was 37 years of age enlisted 8 months ago and had been in France about 4 months . Prior t the war he was a milkman and was also an invalided pensioner of the Boer War in which he fought. He leaves a widow and five children to whom every sympathy will be extended."
