I have just completed my research into Horace’s story. Sadly he died during the 3rd Ypres offensive (what we all now know as Passchendaele) on 26th September 1917, most probably at the Battle of Polygon Wood. He was 19 years old.
If anyone is descended from Horace and would like to contribute any family stories or photographs please contact me.
