221692 Pte. Harry Brown British Army 1st/5th Btn. West Riding Regiment (d.3rd Sep 1916) Harry Brown was my great grand Uncle and he, like so many others, lost his life on the Somme on 3rd of September 1916 at the age of 30. I am researching the family to see if he had time to get married and have a family, I hope he did. He is remembered on the Thiepval Memorial in France, near where he died in action. We know a little about him as we found a Memorial Card in a suitcase of old photos with a photo of him in his uniform. We know he was born in Cardale St, London in 1886, and that by 1901 he was living with his parents and 6 siblings in West Yorkshire (near Holmfirth I think). It's incredible to think that these men were prepared to lay down their lives for their fellow countryman, and for that we remember them. Lest we forget. Thanks Uncle Harry for all that you did.
