William, I do not know the circumstances of your death, nor why your remains were not recovered from the field of battle, but I can still salute you as the brave young commissioned officer you undoubtedly were, who died in the service of his country. You were one of 103 members of your battalion who died on the fateful day, 31st July 1917 and commemorated on the Menin Gate. As a former Lincolns man myself, I know the sincere meaning of the Last Post, sounded in your honour by the buglers at the Menin Gate. My sympathy to your parents and other relatives who mourned your sacrifice. Rest in Peace. Harry.

Henry Harrison
