Pte. Robert Hepburn

British Army Middlesex Regiment

from:Tottenham, Middlesex

Robert Hepburn was my Grandmother's brother and therefore my Grand Uncle. He had five brothers and three sisters. He was a potter by trade, living with his mother aged 27 and never married.

He returned from the war with what I believe to be 'Shell Shock'. He lived in Tottenham for a few years moving from place to place. Eventually taken into Napsbury Military Hospital. He did try to escape a couple of times, but was caught by the police and returned. He died in Napsbury in 1951 aged 65. I and my siblings attended his funeral, although not realising at the time as we played in a meadow with an aunt.
