Pte. Robert William Pearse

British Army 3rd Veterinary Hospital Army Veterinary Corps

from:Canton, Cardiff, Wales

(d.1st Aug 1915)

Robert Pearse was born in Exeter, Devon in 1876. He and several of his brothers went to Cardiff, Wales in the 1890s to find work. He and his brother George were particularly fond of horses and the family story has it that they used to provide rides along the beaches near Penarth. He met his wife Agnes and married in Cardiff around 1900. It is not surprising that he joined the Veterinary Corps. According to the war records he drowned in Hardelot, France in August 1915 aged 39. I would appreciate any information others might be able to add.
