Rfm. Alfred Henry Spong
British Army 8th (Post Office Rifles) Battaion London Regiment
from:London
(d.19th Nov 1916)
From his medal roll his first theatre of war was France which Alfred Spong entered on the 1-7-15. The remarks on the medal roll states 'D of W' 19-11-16. I presume this to mean he died from his wounds. In Fulham Palace Road Cemetry there us a grave In memory of Rifleman Alfred Henry Spong.
2859, 8th Bn., London Regiment (Post Office Rifles) who died aged 23 on 19 November 1916. Commemorated in perpetuity by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
