Pte Horace Eyre

British Army 1st Btn Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry

from:26 Floyer Rd., Small Heath, Birmingham.

(d.28th Jun 1918)

Pte. Horace Eyre served with the 1st Bn. DCLI in 1918.

Little is known of his early time in service.

He was born in Jan 1899, so would have joined in 1917. It may perhaps be assumed that he was involved in the defence of Hazebrouck during the German attack of April 1918.

He died from his wounds received while taking part in the Action at La Becque of 1918-06-28, aged just 19.

He is buried in the War Graves Cemetery in Aval Wood Military Cemetery, Vieux-Berquin, Nord, France.
