Pre War
He was the son of H.S. and Emily Fitt of Charlton near Hitchin.
Wartime Service
He is reputed to have been in the Royal West Surrey Regiment, but no ‘H.S. Fitt’ appears in the ‘Soldiers died’ database, there are two ‘H’ Fitts, but neither has an obvious connection to Hitchin. This is possibly due to the fact that he died after the end of the war.
His Regimental Number was 6/67931 and he was in the 11th Battalion of the Regiment. He died of pneumonia. He was initially buried in Sarlardinge Churchyard near Grammont but was later moved to Plot 4, Row H, Grave 4 in the Tournai Communal Allied Cemetery in Belgium.
