Biography

Herbert appears on the School War Memorial, confirming that he attended the school.  Parish records suggest only one man of this name who could have served, and he was born on April 8th 1880 to George and Emma Lake (née Parkins).  He would have been thirty-four at the outbreak of war.  In all it would appear that four brothers served and survived – refer to Charles Lake for more family details.
