CSM. Ernest Irving
British Army 2nd Battalion Coldsteam Guards
from:London
(d.27th Sep 1918)
My grand-father, Ernest Irving, was killed on 27 Sept 1918 near Cambrai, I presume on the first day of the Battle of the Canal du Nord. >He was a professional soldier and appears to have served at the Front throughout the war. His daughter - my mother - was born only 5 months before his death. I wonder if he ever actually saw her. To compound the family tragedy, Ernest's wife was killed in the Blitz on London in 1942
