Circumstances of Death

Henry died of acute Pneumonia & Pericarditis on 30th January 1921 in Knowle. It is believed that Henry was buried in Knowle on 12 February 1921.

So far we have only been able to find Henry's medal card and medal roll and cannot state with any certainty when he enlisted or was discharged, all we can say at the moment was that he did not serve aboard until sometime after 1st January 1916.
