I am sorry that I do not know your Christian name. 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 in 1915 with 6 other members of our regiment in the Royal Irish Graveyard, Laventie, which is about five miles south-west 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 Laventie, I trust that you were also commemorated on your home town war memorial. My sympathy to your father and other relatives who mourned your sacrifice.  Rest in Peace.  Harry.
