I was unaware of Henry's existance until about 3 years ago.
I have since ascertained he died at the Battle of the Somme on 13th July 1916 in Trones Wood.
The main picture of him is with Dora whom he married in 1915.
The main picture of him I believe shows the strain of the war in his face when compared with the earlier pictures.
