Wartime Service
Horace was a serving soldier when war began and was killed by a German shell at the Battle (or subsequent retreat from) Mons.
It was reported that he had many relatives living in Ashwell and when his sister wrote to friends there she said that she felt the loss of her only brother deeply but she was proud to think that he died for his country and in defence of their brave allies.
