Pte Horace Eyre

British Army 1st Btn Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry

from:26 Floyer Rd., Small Heath, Birmingham.

(d.28th Jun 1918)

Pte. Horace Eyre served with the 1st Bn. DCLI in 1918.

Little is known of his early time in service.

He was born in Jan 1899, so would have joined in 1917. It may perhaps be assumed that he was involved in the defence of Hazebrouck during the German attack of April 1918.

He died from his wounds received while taking part in the Action at La Becque of 1918-06-28, aged just 19.

He is buried in the War Graves Cemetery in Aval Wood Military Cemetery, Vieux-Berquin, Nord, France.

Can you help us to add to our records?

The names and stories on this website have been submitted by their relatives and friends. If your relations are not listed please add their names so that others can read about them


Did your relative live through the Great War? Do you have any photos, newspaper clippings, postcards or letters from that period? Have you researched the names on your local or war memorial?

If so please let us know.

Do you know the location of a Great War "Roll of Honour?"

We are very keen to track down these often forgotten documents and obtain photographs and transcriptions of the names recorded so that they will be available for all to remember.

Help us to build a database of information on those who served both at home and abroad so that future generations may learn of their sacrifice.




Celebrate your own Family History

Celebrate by honouring members of your family who served in the Great War both in the forces and at home. We love to hear about the soldiers, but also remember the many who served in support roles, nurses, doctors, land army, muntions workers etc.

Please use our Family History resources to find out more about your relatives. Then please send in a short article, with a photo if possible, so that they can be remembered on these pages.














The free section of The Wartime Memories Project is run by volunteers.

This website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions.

If you are enjoying the site, please consider making a donation, however small to help with the costs of keeping the site running.
