Rflm. Stanley Howard Crowle
British Army 1st/8th (P.O. Rifles) Btn. 3 Coy. London Regiment
from:London
(d.22nd April 1917)
Stanley Crowle was one of my paternal grandfather's brothers and my late father was named after him. From what I can remember my grandfather loved his elder brother dearly but his war service and death were seldom mentioned apart from the fact that he was buried in a war cemetery somewhere in France or Belgium. A few years ago and due mainly to records being computerised, I was able to find out more about this young man, a distant relative, and via the internet have been able to see a photo of his grave. Stanley died of gunshot wounds to his abdomen and left arm, in no.3 Canadian CCS (Aveluy) at the age of 21. He is buried in Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery.
