Liverpool Echo 31st-Dec-1917
WADE-December 28 Killed on one of H.M. Patrol Ships, Jack-Deeply missed by all friends in Liverpool-Sadly missed by Nancy.
Some one on the Great War Forum has also asked about Jack Wade
Hello
Family stories tell of my Gran's brother (John Wade) being killed when the pilt boat he was on sank in Liverpool docks after being hit by a torpedo / bomb. I have tried, without success, to find any information on John, his boat or whether the family story is in fact true. I have a photo of him and my gran, taken 18 Sept 1916, which was apparently the last time Gran saw him before he was killed. On the back of the photo is John's ship address, and although I can read most of it, one word is illegible. The address is J. Wade, Snr telegraphist, HMXV No. 1, c/o Pilot
