George, I do not know the circumstances of your death, but, as a former Lincolns soldier myself, I can still salute you as the brave officer you undoubtedly were, who died in the service of his country in the Battle of Cambrai in the late summer of 1917. You were laid to rest in the village of Hargicourt, near to Cambrai. I can but quote the memorial hymn again, “All you had hoped for, all you had you gave to save mankind – yourself you scorned to save.”  I trust that the Guard of Honour at your graveside fired the traditional salute to a fallen comrade. I also trust you were commemorated on your home town war memorial.  But 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. I offer my sympathy to your widow and other relatives who mourned your sacrifice. Rest in Peace. Harry.

Henry Harrison
