His comrades left him in a shell hole, but the position was later shelled. His body was never recovered and he is commemorated on the Menin Gate. We are fortunate to have a copy of the last letter he wrote home in which he advises his parents to enjoy their holiday and forget about the war. He was engaged to be married when he died.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-859730d-3\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-859730d-3-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                                                            Battalion                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-859730d-3-content\" data-id=\"acc-859730d-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_0y8y140\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_1aj3140 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_z1tu140   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>7th (Service) Battalion Border Regiment<br \/>07.09.1914 Formed at Carlisle as part of the Second New Army (K2) and then moved to Wool to join the 51st Brigade of the 17th (Northern) Division and then moved to Andover.<br \/>Jan 1915 Moved to Bovington and then Winchester.<br \/>15.07.1915 Mobilised for war and landed at Boulogne and engaged in various actions on the Western Front including;<\/p>\n<p>September 1915:<\/p>\n<p>The Attack on Hooge.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-859730d-4\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-859730d-4-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                                                            Other                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-859730d-4-content\" data-id=\"acc-859730d-4\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_crlb140\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_nxso140 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_cq42140   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>When war broke out Jack was working for chemical manufacturers in Birmingham.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-859730d-5\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-859730d-5-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                                                            Sources                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-859730d-5-content\" data-id=\"acc-859730d-5\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_p1so140\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_8j15140 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_9nl0140   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>a)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Carlisle School Memorial Register 1264-1924<\/p>\n<p>b)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Census: 1891 RG 12 4275<\/p>\n<p>1901 RG 13 4854<\/p>\n<p>1911 RG 14<\/p>\n<p>c) Mrs J Ward, relative\u00a0Jenny Ward.
