    • Note:
      Corporal, 'B' Coy. 6th Bn. Somerset Light Infantry.
      Died of wounds. Age 35.

      Husband of Margaret Lasbury, of 122, Bird In View, Hopewell Hill, Kingswood, Bristol.
      Served in the South African Campaign.

      Burial:
      Poperinghe New Military Cemetery
      Poperinge, West Flanders (West-Vlaanderen) Province, Belgium
      Plot: I.A.13.

      The town of Poperinghe (now Poperinge) was of great importance during the First World War because, although occasionally bombed or bombarded at long range, it was the nearest place to Ypres (now Ieper) which was both considerable in size and reasonably safe. It was at first a centre for Casualty Clearing Stations, but by 1916 it became necessary to move these units further back and field ambulances took their places. The earliest Commonwealth graves in the town are in the communal cemetery. The Old Military Cemetery was made in the course of the First Battle of Ypres and was closed, so far as Commonwealth burials are concerned, at the beginning of May 1915. The New Military Cemetery was established in June 1915. The New Military Cemetery contains 677 Commonwealth burials of the First World War and 271 French war graves. The cemetery was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield.
