Eric, I do not know the circumstances of your death, nor why your remains were not recovered from the field of battle, but I can still salute you as the brave young officer you undoubtedly were, who died in the service of his country. You must have been one of the first Lincolns to perish in the fighting, to be commemorated on the Menin Gate, and, I guess on your home town war memorial too. As a former Lincolns man myself, I know the sincere meaning of the Last Post, sounded in your honour by the buglers at the Menin Gate. My sympathy to your mother and other relatives who mourned your sacrifice. Rest in Peace. Harry.
Henry Harrison
