Cecil, I do not know the exact circumstances of your death, nor why your remains were not recovered from the field of battle, although I guess you had little shelter from the enemy artillery when you advanced to the attack on the opening day of the 3rd Battle of Ypres. You were one of over 100 of your comrades in arms who perished on that fateful day.  I salute you as the brave soldier you undoubtedly were, who died in the service of his country and who was commemorated with your comrades 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
