Henry, as one Henry to another Henry, I do not know the circumstances of your death, but, as a former Lincolns Lance Corporal myself, doing my National Service in 1950, I can still salute you as the brave NCO you undoubtedly were, who died in the service of his country. I trust that the Guard of Honour at your graveside fired the traditional salute to a fallen comrade.  In addition to your gravestone at Halluin, where you were the only Lincoln to be laid to rest, you are also remembered every year at the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance, when the parade is at the attention while the Queen’s Colour and the National Standard are dipped in salute as the Last Post is sounded. My sympathy to your parents and other relatives who mourned your sacrifice. Rest in Peace. Harry.

Henry Harrison
