William, 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. I expect that you had been severely injured in the fighting on the Western Front, which had earned you a Blighty. You were laid to rest with 5 other members of our regiment in Stamford Cemetery. I trust that the Guard of Honour at your graveside fired the traditional salute to a fallen comrade. In addition to your gravestone at Stamford, I trust that you were also commemorated on the Stamford war memorial. My sympathy to your widow, mother and other relatives who mourned your sacrifice.  Rest in Peace.  Harry.

Henry Harrison
