Pre War
His home was at 15, Ickleford Rd, Hitchin, but this is possible after his discharge.
Wartime Service
He volunteered in June 1915 and went to France the same year.
He contracted dysentery and was invalided home. He was discharged from the army as unfit in April 1917, consequently his name does not appear in the ‘Soldiers died’ database and he could not be identified in the records of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
He died on the 25th July 1918 aged 28 years. An ‘In Memoriam’ notice in a local newspaper states that he "died from the affects of the Great War".
