John, 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. You were laid to rest with 54 other members of our regiment in Rue-Petillon Military Cemetery, Fleurbaix, south of Armentieres in the Pas de Calais. I trust that the Guard of Honour at your graveside fired the traditional salute to a fallen comrade. In addition to your gravestone at Fleurbaix, 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.
