Gnr. Lawrence Horatio Goff Eveleigh
British Army C Bty. 162nd Brigade Royal Field Artillery
from:Hendon, Middlesex
(d.13th Apr 1917)
Lawrence Eveleigh was married to my great aunt in early 1917.
He fell in the Battle of Arras in April of the same year, they had been married only 3 months.
His brigade was attached to the 33rd Division throughout the war.
He now lies in Cabaret-Rouge British Cemetery at Souchez in France.
My family and I are planning to visit, and pay our respects to him in Spring of 2019.
This all came about from a chance conversation I had with my 82 year old mother, on Remembrance Sunday. She could only vaguely remember the name Goff, as her Aunt never spoke about him. So pleased I tracked him down and very proud.
