Pte. A North
British Army 23rd Btn. London Regiment
(d.26th February 1917)
A. North was a gunner with the R.F.A and a private with the 23rd London regiment.
Volunteering in August 1914 he fought in many parts of the line. Owing to ill-health he returned to England and was discharged unfit in February 1916. He re-enlisted, however in the London Regiment and proceeded to the Western Front where he was in action in many engagement of note. In February 1917 he was killed by a sniper, and lies at rest at Ypres.
He was entitled to the 1914-15 star, and the general service and victory medals.
Thinking that remembrance, though unspoken, may reach him where he sleeps.
