205351 Pte. Horace Victor Chatterley British Army 12th Btn. Royal Sussex Regiment from:Crabbs Cross, Redditich (d.25th Sep 1917) Horace was my uncle. He joined the Royal Warwickshire in 1917. I have photo of him in uniform at home and at training camp. He was at Southampton on the 3rd September 1917 awaiting embarkation, I have a lettercard from him describing the port and all the ships. Apparently he was a good rifleman, due to his childhood upbringing by his father who used to teach him to shoot rabbits. He was killed at Dumbarton Lakes on 25 September 1917, he was shot by a German sniper, and is buried at Hooge Crater cemetery. His gravestone gives him as serving in the Royal Sussex Regiment. I have his Captain's daily log extract (12th battalion Royal Sussex) for the days leading to his death and the operations the battalion was undertaking. I would like to know more about his enlistment and his service number whilst he was with the Warwicks and why he was transfered.
