BMoorhouse Posted 13 September , 2009 Share Posted 13 September , 2009 Andrew, Thanks for the photographs. Just a little more detail on L/Cpl John Harris (known as Jack) - he was injured at the front, suffering a penetrating shrapnel wound to his temple in July 1916. He was later transferred to Stockport Hospital, even though recovery was never expected. He died on the 13th March 1917 aged 38 with his wife, father and sister being notified of his deteriorating condition, and setting off to be with him in Stockport. Sadly they did not arrive in time. He left a ten year old son. After his death, his body was conveyed to Monkton Combe to his home in Mill Lane. There was then a procession to the cemetery, with some 80 soldiers lining the route. The man who had been a gardener for a local clergyman was burried with nearly the whole village present. May they all rest in peace. Regards, Brendon.
