In Remembrance of
Edward James Strange

"Eddie" as he was known, was born on 10th June 1914 in Liverpool, Lancashire. He was the second of three sons born to Henry and Catharine Strange of 29 Nestor Street, Dingle, Liverpool. His brothers were Henry Stanley (known as Stan) and Cyril. Sadly, their father, who had served in the First World War, died shortly after the war due to injuries. Additionally, Cyril would die during childhood.

Eddie attended Matthew Arnold School in Dingle. He was known to have been a gifted guitar player and played regularly with Stan (on accordian) and their friend Eric. Both Eddie and Stan would go on to serve in the Second World War, Eddie in the Navy and Stan in the Army.

Eddie and his wife Margaret lived in Lucerne Street, off Lark Lane in Aigburth, Liverpool. He was 26 years old at the time of his loss.
