Pte. Maurice Marshall
British Army 7th Btn. Lincolnshire Regiment
from:Glentham
(d.23rd Apr 1917)
My Great Grand-Uncle. Maurice Matrshall died of his wounds and is buried in Grave IV, A18, Duisans British Cemetery, Etrun, France.
His two brothers, William & David, survived the war only to both be struck down and die whilst still in France as a result of the Spanish Flu epidemic. William died Dec 16 1918 and David 5 Dec 1918. Both are buried in Glentham Lincolnshire.
His nephew, my Grandfather, 9331 Private James William Marshall, survived the War. He also served with the Lincolns possibly 10th Bat. It was rumoured that he performed some act of gallantry during the conflict which would have led to the award of a senior medal award if this had been substantiated; alas his CO was killed later that day and with it his sponsor.
