9220 Rifleman
Sydney Cridland
1st Bn. Rifle Brigade
25th September 1914.


Husband of Mrs A. G. Cridland, of 8, Riverside, East Usk Rd.; Newport, Mon.

Sidney's real name was Silvanus but he changed it when he joined the Rifle Brigade 1st battalion in 1902. He probably thought people would make fun of his name. He also lied about his age. He was 16 when he joined the Army but said he was 18. He served with the Rifle Brigade on Malta from 1904-5. 

After his 3 years service, he was on the reserve list for 9 years during which time he returned to his home town of Newport, got married and had 3 daughters. He rejoined the Rifle Brigade in 1914 and was killed near Bucy-le-Long.
