Alfred Frederick Joslin was born in Warley in 1883, his father Frederick was a gardener and the family later moved to Brook Street. Married Rosina Frost from Bath at the end of 1914.

He was mentioned in the newspapers in 1916 by his mother-in-law, who was proud to tell the story of her five sone and one son-in-law who were all serving in the war. It would seem that, fortunately, they all survived the war.
