In Clitheroe Cemetery, Lancashire. Albert isn't named on Clitheroe's ABW memorial plaque.

I can't find an Albert Parker who was born at Clitheroe in either 1866 or 1867; however, there were two Albert Parkers born in Burnley, one in 1866, the other in 1867. Nor could I find any mention of his death, his war service, or letters home in the copies of the Clitheroe Times and the Burnley Express that I've been able to check. The plaque wasn't unveiled until August 1907, long enough after his death for him to have been included, so perhaps he wasn't considered to be eligible for inclusion.
