George, 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 young soldier who lost his life in the service of his country. Your funeral took place at Etaples Military Cemetery near Boulogne, where 124 other members of our regiment were buried. There were many military hospitals in this area, so the probability is that you died of your wounds after they had done their very best to save you. I trust that the Guard of Honour at your funeral service fired the traditional salute to a fallen comrade. In addition to your gravestone in Etaples, 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.
