George, 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 in the 2nd Battle of the Somme.  You were laid to rest with three other members of our regiment in Serre Road Cemetery No 1, on the Somme. I trust that the Guard of Honour at your graveside fired the traditional salute to a fallen comrade. In addition to your gravestone at the village of Serre, 11km north north east of Albert, I also trust that you were commemorated on your home town war memorial. I offer my sympathy to your parents and other relatives who mourned your sacrifice.  Rest in Peace.  Harry.  

Henry Harrison
