HORACE LEWIS

HORACE LEWIS

I have just completed my research into Horace's story. Sadly he died during the 3rd Ypres offensive (what we all now know as Passchendaele) on 26th September 1917, most probably at the Battle of Polygon Wood. He was 19 years old.

His story can be found here https://wordpress.com/page/oldwhittingtonops.com/342
