TULLIDGE, Robert Milton

Basra & Iraq Roles of Honour, UKCredit: CWGC

Captain
13th Battalion attached to the 9th
Royal Warwickshire Regiment

Robert was born 1892 in Newport to Henry & Amy Constance (nee JUPE) TULLIDGE. In 1901 the family lived at 2 Upper St. James Street, Newport. By the time of Robert’s death his parents had left the Island & were living at ‘The Nook’, Addlestone in Surrey.

Robert, aged 24, Died of Wounds received at the ‘Tigris Front’ on the 25th of January 1917 & is buried alongside 4,620 of his First World War comrades. Although originally buried beneath a Commission Headstone, due to the political situation the cemetery is currently unmaintainable & so these soldiers are also commemorated by the Commission in the Iraq Roles of Honour at their HQ in Maidenhead, UK.

Robert is also remembered on the County, Newport & Arreton War Memorials. His brother Bernard Henry also fell in World War One.
