Pte. Richard Brenton Bate

British Army 6th Battalion Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry

from:Tavern House, Tavern Hill, Padstow, Cornwall

(d.31st July 1915)

I know very little about Richard Bate, though I do know he served in Ypres in 1915, with the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. I believe his main task was to secure and safeguard the Hazebrouck-Poperinghe railway line, which became vital in June 1915 for British Casualty Clearing Stations.

He died on Saturday, 31st of July 1915 at the age of 34, and my family is forever grateful for his service and sacrifice.
