218102Pte. Arthur Stephen Franklin Lovegrove
British Army 8th Btn Seaforth Highlanders
from:87 Wakehurst Rd. Clapham Junction, London
(d.10th Apr 1918)
I knew my father had an older brother, Arthur Franklin, but Dad never spoke of him. Only recently have I discovered that his brother served in Seaforth Highlanders 8th Bn . & died in April 1918. He is buried in Duisans British Cemetery, Etrun, France. I presume he was injured in Battle for Arras in 1917. He died from injuries. I have no idea whether the family have ever visited his grave, as they have all passed on. My Dad came to Australia in 1920 & only had one brief trip back to UK in 1950 & he only had one sister still living then. I was very shocked & dis-appointed that I had never been told of my Uncle's service & death. I have no photos of Arthur.Editors Note: 235272 Private Arthur Stephen Franklin Lovegrove served with the 8th Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders during WW1 and died from injuries on the 10th April 1918. He is remembered at Duisans British Cemetery, Etrun, France. Arthurs medal card records the award of the British War and Victory Medal. It also records him as having served with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders - Service number 302443 (no dates recorded).
