July 1915. Born Canterbury <strong>Kent</strong>. Enlisted Canterbury. Resided Canterbury. Buried in the Bailluel<br />

During most of July 1915 the 6 th battalion were in billets at the rear. These billets consisted mainly<br />
leaky barns and farm buildings. On the 31 st July 1915 the battalion was moved into the frontline at<br />
Plugstreet Wood. It appears that Herbert was probably wounded in an earlier engagement<br />
somewhere near Armentieres and died of his wounds weeks later.<br />
