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 Lance Corporal 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 NCO who lost his life in the service of his country. You were laid to rest with 70 other members of our regiment in the Bailleul Communal Cemetery Extension, which is 14km south-west of Ypres. Bailleul was a centre for several hospitals and CC Stations, so I do not know in which fighting you received your mortal wound, nor which Lincoln unit you served with, although it was most probably in one of the several battles of Ypres or in that of Messines. In addition, several graves were brought in from other cemeteries in the area after the Armistice. I trust that the Guard of Honour at your graveside fired the traditional salute to a fallen comrade. In addition to your gravestone at Bailleul, I trust that you were also commemorated on your home town war memorial. My sympathy to your relatives who mourned your sacrifice.  Rest in Peace.  Harry.
