Notes |
- A 1911 U. S. Passport Application states that Paul was a Journalist in 1911.
Paul served in the Royal Field Artillery of the British and was wounded in the battle of Flanders in 1915.
An article in the Springfield Daily Republican of Oct. 28, 1915 states that he was a 2nd lieutenant at the time and recovering in the Ewell and Epson war hospital on Epson Downs near London.
A History of West Brookfield, 1675 - 1990, by Jeffrey H. Fiske, page 163, states that Paul and his wife were killed in a London bombing raid in December of 1940. According to this reference, Paul had become a British Citizen after service in World War I, and was a member of the London home guard. England & Wales Death Index, 1916 - 2005, Ancestry.com has Paul C. Chamberlain, age 50, death between Oct. and Dec. 1940, Westminister, London, England, Vol 1a page 736. There is also an entry for a Marian Chamberlain at same time and location. England & Wales Marriage Index has entry in July - Sept. of 1933 for a Paul Chamberlain and a Marian Greenaway. Further research needed to confirm that the records refer to Paul Crosby Chamberlain, son of Daniel Henry Chamberlain.
