Samuel, I am not aware of the precise circumstances of your death nor what caused it, but, as a former soldier in the 1st Lincolns myself, doing my National Service in 1950, I am pleased to be given this opportunity to salute you as a brave soldier who lost his life in the service of his country.  We read that you were involved in the renewed British offensive on the 26th of September on a 6 mile front in the 3rd Battle of Ypres across the marshland near to Dochy Farm and this is where you lost your life. 10 members of our Regiment perished in the first assault. I trust that the Guard of Honour at your graveside fired the traditional salute to a fallen comrade. In addition to your gravestone at Dochy Farm, I also trust that you were commemorated on your home town war memorial. My sympathy to your widow, parents and other relatives who mourned your sacrifice.  Rest in Peace.  Harry.  

Henry Harrison
