William, I do not know the circumstances of your death, nor why your remains were not recovered from the field of battle, but, as a former Lincolns soldier myself,  I can still salute you as the brave young soldier you undoubtedly were, who died in the service of his country and who was commemorated on the Ploegsteert Memorial. I trust you were also commemorated on your home town war memorial.  My sympathy to your widow, parents and to other relatives who mourned your sacrifice. Rest in Peace. Harry.

Henry Harrison
