He left a widow, and three children who now reside at Hoby, Leics. Before enlistment he was a horsekeeper. He joined the 4th Battalion of the Lincolnshire Regiment and embarked for France on the 3rd September 1915. He was in action at the Battle of Loos and suffered gun shot wounds in the right arm and chest on the 2nd October 1915. Having recovered from those wounds he again embarked on the 1st March 1916, and was again wounded, this time in the left elbow. On leaving hospital he transferred to the 5th Battalion of the Royal Berkshire Regiment, and took part in the regaining of Thiepval Ridge, where he was again wounded on the 25th September 1916. He was sent to England for hospital treatment, and on recovery went to Cork, Ireland for three months, and then again embarked for France, where he took part in the Battle of Cambrai. He was recommended for gallantry on the field in the attack on the 20th November 1917, but was killed near Bleak House on the 30th November by a shell. The officer commanding his company, writing to his widow, says:- “I can only partly realise the sorrow you must feel at the loss of one who will be missed so much, but at the same time must feel proud of his gallant deeds and splendid life. He was an excellent N.C.O. and would have gone far in promotion, as he had been recommended for gallantry in the attack on the 20th November.”
