Pte. Hubert Frederick Boston

British Army 8th Btn. King's Own (Royal Lancaster) Regiment

from:Morecambe

(d.24th July 1916)

My great grandfather Hubert Boston was invalidated out of the Royal Navy, whilst serving in HMS Pembroke.

He joined the King's Own (Royal Lancaster) Regiment and went to France in 1915 with the 8th Battalion. He served in Flanders and the Somme. He died on 24th July 1916. His remains haven't been found, so he's commemorated on Thiepval memorial. A small group of his comrades who died on the same day are buried at Flatiron Cemetery, which was a field hospital receiving casualties from the Longueval area of operations.
