L/Bmbdr. Thomas Carbis
British Army 227th Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Carharrack, Cornwall
(d.21st March 1918)
While researching my family history, I came across the following newspaper article from the West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser on 22nd of March 1923
... in loving and affectionate remembrance of our dear Tom, the only dearly loved and darling child of Nicholas and Harriet Carbis [nee Goldsworthy married Bennets], who fell in France, March 21st, 1918, aged 24 years.
Dear love of our hearts you sleep with the brave.
Where no tears from your sorrowing parents can all on your dear grave.
In the red field of battle you fell far away.
But our tribute of love to your sweet memory we’ll pay.
All is sad within our dwelling, lonely are our hearts to-day.
When one we loved dearly has from this passed away.
God will link the broken chain.
Closer when we meet again.
One of the best
From his loving father and mother. Bailrace, Carharrack...
Thomas Carbis was my grandmother's cousin.
His name is on the the war memorial in Carharrack, Cornwall
