Albert,

I am not aware of the circumstances of your death, but, as a former soldier in the Lincolns myself, doing my National Service in 1950, I am pleased to be given this opportunity to salute you as a brave NCO who lost his life in the service of his country in 1918 near the very end of hostilities. Your funeral took place at Caudry British Cemetery, near to Cambrai, where 21 other members of our regiment were buried. I trust that the Guard of Honour at your funeral service fired the traditional salute to a fallen comrade. In addition to your gravestone at Caudry, I also trust that you were commemorated on your home town war memorial. My sympathy to your parents and other relatives who mourned your sacrifice.  Rest in Peace.  Harry.
