L/Cpl. Robert John Anstiss

British Army 9th Btn. Devonshire Regiment

from:Ivybridge, Devon

(d.6th September 1916)

I know little about Robert Anstiss apart from the fact that his grandmother was my great grandmother. Robert was born in Ivybridge, Devon to Robert and Elizabeth Jane Anstiss. Robert had a younger brother Frederick who was born in 1901. Robert was killed in action at Ginchy on 6th of September 1916, aged 25. So very young.

In 2013 I visited his grave in Delville Wood Cemetery, Longueval, France.

Rest in in peace Robert.
