Leslie, 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 young commissioned officer who lost his life in the service of his country in one of the Battles of Ypres. The majority of our comrades in the Lincolns who fell at this time in the Salient are commemorated on the Menin Gate, so I would imagine anyone visiting your grave at the appropriate time each day, given good weather conditions, might just be able to hear the sounding of the Last Post at the Menin Gate Memorial, which can be considered to be also in your honour. You were laid to rest with 12 other members of our regiment in Railway Dugouts Burial Ground just 2 km south of Ypres. I trust that the Guard of Honour at your graveside fired the traditional salute to a fallen comrade. In addition to your gravestone at Railway Dugouts, 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
