Sgt. Horace Charles Ernest Knightly
British Army 15th Brigade, "A" Battery Royal Field Artillery
from:Hackney, London
(d.22nd Mar 1918)
I am trying to find any information on my great uncle Horace Knightly, who died in WW1. I have no idea when he joined the army and cannot find him in the 1911 Census when he would have been about 28 (born 1883). He registered his mother's death in 1914 from an address in Hackney where he lived when he married in London in 1917.
Any help in finding out anything at all would be greatly appreciated.
Update:
Thanks to a very helpful lady, I now know that in 1911 Horace was serving in India.
