I am sorry that I do not know your Christian name. I am not aware of the circumstances of your death, but, as a former Lance Corporal in the Lincolns myself, doing my National Service in 1950, I am pleased to be given this opportunity to salute you as a brave NCO who lost his life on the Somme in the service of his country. Your funeral took place at Bagneux British Cemetery, where 34 other members of our regiment were buried. I trust that the Guard of Honour at your funeral service fired the traditional salute to a fallen comrade. In addition to your gravestone at Bagneux, I also trust that you were commemorated on your home town war memorial. My sympathy to your relatives who mourned your sacrifice. Rest in Peace. Harry.
Henry Harrison
