James, I am not aware of the precise circumstances of your death, nor what caused it, but, as a former soldier in the 1st Lincolns myself, doing my National Service in 1950, I am pleased to be given this opportunity to salute you as a brave soldier who lost his life in the service of his country. I understand that Boulogne Eastern Cemetery, where you were laid to rest with 67 other members of our regiment, received casualties from the hospitals in quite a large area of the Pas de Calais, so I do not know where your Lincolns unit was involved in the fighting when you were mortally wounded. I trust that the Guard of Honour at your graveside fired the traditional salute to a fallen comrade. In addition to your gravestone at Boulogne, I also trust that you were commemorated on your home town war memorial. My sympathy to your parents and other relatives who mourned your sacrifice. Rest in Peace. Harry.
Henry Harrison
