Kate Wills Posted 21 January , 2003 Share Posted 21 January , 2003 Could you take a look for the following for me please: EVAN ECKHARD MEYRICK Lance Serjeant 2085, 1st Bn., Cambridgeshire Regiment who died on Sunday, 30th July 1916. Age 23. Son of Edward and Antonie Meyrick, of Thornhanger, Marlborough, Wilts. Scholar of Trinity College, Cambridge. Browne Scholar 1914. His Company commander, Capt Adam, wrote in a letter home "One very sad thing has happened in the death of Corporal Meyrick, the great classic and equally great soldier who was one of my very best NCOs. He was never strong, and at the same time so tough that he would never give up, with the result that he died suddenly…" Many thanks, Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Saunders Posted 6 December , 2006 Share Posted 6 December , 2006 The cricket professional at the time of WW1 was a chap called Jennings. At least three of his sons played professional cricket - one died of wounds sustained in France. I doubt this would mention them, but on the offchance, is there any mention of the Jennings family?
