Can't find an MIC................Perhaps he never served abroad

Doesn't look as if he did.

Henry Harold Crook is named on the memorial in the church. He died whilst training at Tidworth Camp.

There is a photo of his grave and the memorial in Ray Westlake's Remembering the Great War in Gloucestershire & Herefordshire, the source of the above info.

My scanner is currently out of order so I can't post scans at present.
