James, 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. It would seem most likely that you were involved in the fierce fighting during the latter part of the Battle of Cambrai during December 1917. You were laid to rest with 6 other members of our regiment in Ribecourt Road Cemetery, Trescault, south of Cambrai. I trust that the Guard of Honour at your graveside fired the traditional salute to a fallen comrade. In addition to your gravestone at Cambrai, I trust that you were also commemorated on your home town war memorial. My sympathy to your widow and other relatives who mourned your sacrifice.  Rest in Peace.  Harry.  

Henry Harrison
