Pte Henry Pate

British Army 1/5 Battalion Cheshire Regiment

from:Bickley, Cheshire

(d.1st Dec 1917)

My grandfather, Henry Pate, was killed with two others in a trench on the Somme close to Cambrai. A fourth man, Harry Lloyd, had gone to fetch tea to accompany their bacon sandwiches, when they were hit by a shell. He survived, badly injured, but still holding his bacon sandwich. The three soldiers are buried with headstones butted together in Louverval Military Cemetery. The other two soldiers being Harry Lees and Harry Golding, also of the Cheshires. This story is linked to Meg Goodrick's story.
