239834 Rflmn. Roy Maurice Bland British Army 2nd Battalion King's Royal Rifle Corps from:Osbaldwick, York (d.28th Oct 1918) Roy Maurice was the son of Annie Bland (nee Jewitt) and George Bland. He was born April 1886 in York. He had one brother Henry Radcliffe Bland who was born in 1898. He signed up on 13th of January 1916 and died 28 October 1918. It seems of illness and his theatre of war was put as home. His younger brother had died 25th of October at home of influenza. It is possible that Roy Maurice was on leave and contracted the Spanish Flu from his brother. Or he was sent home ill and gave it to his brother. Annie and George only had the two sons - it must have been devastating.
