William, 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 in one of the Battles of Ypres. The majority of our comrades in the Lincolns who fell at this time in the Salient are commemorated on the Menin Gate with you.  Anybody paying tribute to your memory at the appropriate time each day would be able to hear the sounding of the Last Post by the local buglers. I also trust that you were commemorated on your home town war memorial. I offer my sympathy to your father and other relatives who mourned your sacrifice.  Rest in Peace.  Harry.

Henry Harrison
