Sydney was the only son of Harry and Lucy Chappell from Brighton. He was a Bandsman and as such a stretcher bearer in the Royal Sussex regiment and my Great Uncle. He died whilst trying to rescue his comrades at Vendress in the battle of the Marne September 1914. He had been a serving soldier and had done 10years service when  he came home from India,had he stayed his regiment in India was never called to fight in WW1 as they were protecting the Khyber pass !! So very sad
