The above information is all I have been able to find out about my grandfather, who was killed in action on 20th September 1917, when my father was 13 months old. Dad went on to have 6 sons and one daughter. My oldest brother was named after my grandfather but we were never told this. It is only now that I have reached retirement age that I am able to do more research but as I live in Australia the only information I can garner is online.
Update: Private Payne was the son of Henry Payne, of 2 Park Place, Abertillery, Monmouthshire, South Wales, and husband of Dorothy C. Payne (née Messer), of 8 Salisbury Road, Boscombe, Bournemouth. He was aged 31 when he was killed in action, most likely fighting the Battle of the Menin Road Ridge. He is commemorated on Panel 88 to 90 and 162 of Tyne Cot Memorial, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium, and on both the Abertillery Central Memorial and St. Michael's Church Memorial, Abertillery.
