Oscar John Boon volunteered in 1915 and, on completing his training the following year, was drafted to the Western Front. There he was engaged as a runner with his Battalion and took part in much heavy fighting at Ypres, on the Somme and at Messines. He was unfortunately killed in action at Paschendaele on October 30th 1917, and was entitled to the General Service and Victory Medals. "Honour to the immortal dead who gave their youth that the world may grow old in peace".
