Pte. Horace Samuel Raby

British Army 2nd Btn. Sherwood Foresters

from:Lichfield

(d.8th Nov 1918)

Horace Raby was a regular soldier who went to France in Sept 1914 with his regiment, the 2nd Btn Sherwood Foresters. Sadly he was captured on the 20th October 1914 at Ennetieres. He remained in German prisoner of war camps for the next four years and died three days before the Armistice. I have no photographs of this man, my gt. uncle other than a group photo taken at his sister's wedding where there is a head and shoulders pic of a young lad who I am told is Horace. I am trying to piece together his life story and have so far written several thousand words.
