Pte. Harry James Flack

British Army 11th Btn. Essex Regiment

from:Romford, Essex

(d.5th December 1918)

Harry Flack was born in Windsor Castle, where his father was a gardener, and after his father's death moved to Navestock in Essex with his mother and younger brothers George and Bertie. He was employed as a butcher's boy. He followed his brother into the army. Nothing is known regarding his death (due to no paperwork having survived and nothing verbal being passed down). He died on 5th December 1918 (after the armistice) and we can only assume he either died from wounds or during the Spanish influenza epedemic. He is, we believe, buried in Selridge British Military Cemetery, Montay.

Additional Information:

I am a guide working for a tourist office, I live in Le Cateau and pass along Selridge cemetery every day. I have paid a visit on Private Flack's grave and would like to send you the picture.
