Private Edward Marvin KIA 24/03/1918 - Sth African Infantry

[phil1963]

Can anybody add anything to the limited amount on the above shown on the C.W.G.C. site please. My interest is that he played a few cricket matches, but, being born in Leicester in 1878 and playing in South Africa between 1905-09 I wonder if he saw action in the Boer War too?

E H Marvin appears to actually be Edward William Marvin
